Hi Product Hunt community! I am the indie developer behind "Byrsa Team", and after months of work, I am incredibly proud to launch BudgetZen today. 🧘♂️💰
I built this app out of pure frustration with modern personal finance tools. Most of them force you to create an account, sync your sensitive bank credentials to insecure clouds, and secretly monetize your spending data.
I wanted to take a radical approach: What if a financial app could be as powerful as a bank, but as private as your personal diary?
That’s how BudgetZen was born. It is engineered around absolute privacy. No account. No cloud. No tracking. It works 100% offline.
Here is what makes BudgetZen unique:
🧠 On-Device AI Coach: All spending analysis and end-of-month predictions happen directly on your phone. Not a single byte of data ever leaves your device.
⚖️ Zero-Based Budget Mode: Give every dollar a job with a live counter that hits zero when your monthly plan is perfectly balanced (includes 1-tap 50/30/20 rule auto-distribution).
📋 Classic Budget Mode: Track as you go. On-device AI analyzes your spending habits, detects unusual spikes, identifies hidden subscriptions, and predicts your end-of-month balance. Perfect for everyday use.
🏆 Zen Score: Gamify your financial health with local metrics and 20 achievement badges.
🏦 Smart CSV Bank Import: No risky live banking sync. Just drag and drop your bank's CSV (Revolut, N26, etc.), and our local algorithm auto-categorizes your transactions.
🌍 Globally Ready: Available in 10 languages (EN, FR, DE, ES, IT, PT, JP, AR, KO, TR) and 60+ currencies.
BudgetZen is free to try with unlimited transactions!
I’m here all day to answer your questions, listen to your feedback, and take feature requests. Thank you so much for supporting Byrsa Team! 🚀
