Privacy & about

Your data never leaves your server

Budget is built privacy-first, because money data is about as personal as it gets.

Where your data lives

Everything you enter — accounts, transactions, budgets, goals, pensions — is stored in your own Nextcloud's database, on the server you control. The app makes no calls to Otherworld Dev or any third party with your financial data, and there are no analytics, telemetry or tracking inside the app.

What the app talks to (and why)

  • Exchange rates — if you use multiple currencies, the app can fetch reference rates (e.g. the European Central Bank). You can disable this or enter rates manually.
  • Bank sync — optional, and only if you connect an aggregator (GoCardless / SimpleFIN). It's off unless you set it up.
  • Nothing else leaves your server. No account to create, no sign-in to a cloud service.

budget.otherworld.dev is a plain static site. It sets no cookies, loads no third-party scripts or fonts, and runs no analytics. The screenshots here use generated demo data, not anyone's real finances.
