Budget Planning That Never Leaves Your Server
BudgetStill is a privacy-first budgeting tool with powerful what-if scenario planning — no bank sync, no third-party cloud, no data leaks. Self-host with Docker in minutes or let us host it for you. Finally, spreadsheet-level flexibility with modern UX.
Everything you need to get started
Built for developers who value speed, reliability, and simplicity.
Zero Cloud Dependency
Your financial data stays on your hardware. BudgetStill runs entirely self-hosted — no bank account syncing, no third-party APIs, no data leaving your network. You own every byte.
What-If Scenario Engine
Model unlimited budget scenarios side by side. Ask questions like "What if I cut subscriptions by 30%?" or "What if I max my Roth IRA?" and see the impact instantly across months and years.
One-Command Docker Deploy
Run a single docker-compose command and you're live. BudgetStill ships as a lightweight container with SQLite by default and optional Postgres support. No complex infrastructure required.
Multi-User Household Accounts
Invite your partner or family members with role-based access. Track shared expenses, split categories, and plan household budgets together — all within one private instance.
CSV Import & Export
Bring your existing data. Import transactions from any bank's CSV export and move freely between BudgetStill and spreadsheets. No vendor lock-in, ever. Your data is always portable.
Visual Spending Reports
Understand where your money goes with clean, interactive charts and category breakdowns. Track trends over time, compare months, and spot overspending patterns before they become problems.

“I tried YNAB, Actual Budget, and plain spreadsheets. BudgetStill is the first tool that gives me real what-if analysis without demanding access to my bank. Deployed it on my Proxmox server in under five minutes.”
Marcus Chen

“My wife and I are on a FIRE path and we needed something we both could use without it feeling like a chore. The scenario planner helped us decide between paying off the mortgage early or maxing our 401k. We ran both scenarios in ten minutes.”
