Buddi is a personal finance and budgeting program, aimed at those who have little or no financial background. In making this software, I have attempted to make things as simple as possible, while still retaining enough functions to satisfy most home users.

Buddi is released as Open Source Software. You can download it for free, with no disabled features and no time limit. If you find that you like it, and that it has helped you to organize your finances, I would greatly appreciate a small donation via the link at the bottom of the page. I have spent thousands of hours of my own time perfecting Buddi - while I am not doing this for the money, I do need to support myself and my family, and every little bit helps.

Buddi will run on almost any computer which has a Java virtual machine installed. This can include Windows, Macintosh OS X, Linux, and many other operating systems.

Buddi is currently available in multiple languages. If you are interested in translating to another language, feel free to do so! I would greatly appreciate it if you also sent me the translated file once you are finished. For more details, please see the translations page.

Buddi is released under the GNU General Public License. Since Buddi is released as Open Source Software, everyone has free access to the source code (available for download from the SourceForge project page). This gives you the ability to modify the program if you want it to work a little differently, or if you want to add some new features. For more information on Open Source Software in general, and the GNU General Public License in particular, you can refer to Wikipedia.
