Kick the tyres with demo data

Want a fully populated instance to explore first? Seed the same multi-currency demo dataset used in the screenshots:

occ budget:seed-demo — creates demo accounts, transactions, budgets, bills, goals, a pension and net-worth history. Add --wipe to reset first.

First steps

  • Add your accounts — bank, card, cash, savings or crypto.
  • Import a statement (CSV, OFX or QIF) and let the rules categorise it.
  • Set a few budgets and turn on alerts.
  • Browse the documentation — there's also a help button on every page in the app.

⚠️ Beta: Budget is still in active testing and data loss is possible. Please keep backups and report any issues — it really helps.

Make it yours

Free, open source, and running entirely on your own server.
