What you can build with Actual Budget
Actual Budget is a fast, local-first personal finance application built around the envelope budgeting methodology—every dollar you earn is assigned to a specific category before you spend it. Originally a commercial product, it was open-sourced by its creator and is now maintained by an active community, making it one of the most capable free alternatives to YNAB.
Because Actual Budget uses a local-first architecture, your financial data stays on infrastructure you control rather than a third-party cloud. Multi-device synchronization still works through your self-hosted server, and optional end-to-end encryption protects data in transit. Bank connections via SimpleFIN (US/Canada) and GoCardless (EU/UK) bring transactions in automatically, while import support for YNAB makes migration straightforward.
Key features of Actual Budget
Envelope budgeting
Allocates every dollar to a specific category before spending, giving you a clear plan based on actual income rather than rough estimates.
Local-first data ownership
Your financial data is stored on your own server, not a commercial cloud—protecting sensitive account details from third-party breaches or vendor policy changes.
Multi-device sync
Synchronize budgets across phones, tablets, and computers through your self-hosted server so every household member sees the same up-to-date figures.
Bank account integration
Connect to real bank accounts via SimpleFIN (US/Canada) or GoCardless (EU/UK) to import transactions automatically, reducing manual data entry.
Detailed financial reports
Built-in reports for net worth, cash flow, and spending trends give you the visibility to make informed financial decisions without a separate spreadsheet.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Kodee and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
