What HomeBudget is
HomeBudget is an expense tracker for households managing monthly budgets and cash flow. It runs on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows, with mobile apps for Android and iOS. The software records expenses, income, budgets, accounts, payees, bills, and recurring entries. Budgets can target categories or subcategories, with spending tracked against each one. Family Sync lets household members exchange expense and income information across devices while working in one budget. HomeBudget stores iPhone and iPad data locally, using network access for exports or Family Sync. Transactions from bank and credit-card accounts can be imported in OFX/QFX or CSV formats, although only a limited number of institutions offer network import. Windows reports include 12-month expense and income trends and can be saved as PDF or CSV. The freemium product has a free plan and free trial. Separate purchases are required for each operating-system platform.
