Built a budgeting app with local AI, no subscription — feedback welcome
by•
Hey everyone,
I got tired of budgeting apps charging a monthly fee to categorize my own transactions — often by sending my bank data to a cloud API. So I built ClearBudget, a personal budgeting app for Windows that runs its categorization AI entirely on your machine (via Ollama). No cloud, no API costs, no subscription.
Import your bank statements, get transactions auto-categorized in seconds, track spending and savings goals — and your financial data never leaves your PC.
One-time purchase (€9.99), 7-day free trial, 8 languages.
Would love feedback, especially on the bank import flow.

Launching ClearBudget and WinBoost Pro on the same day is basically running two small businesses in parallel, each with its own users, support questions, and roadmap. That's the part nobody warns you about with a multi-product studio: building is one skill, staying on top of two feedback inboxes and two sets of bug reports at once is a completely different one. I run a few things myself (software, a care home, a cafe) so the juggling problem feels familiar. The local-AI, no-subscription angle on ClearBudget is smart, it removes the trust objection before anyone even asks it. Are you splitting attention sequentially between the two launches this week, or trying to run both truly in parallel?
