HomeBudget is an integrated expense tracker designed to help you track your expenses, income, bills-due and account balances. It offers support for budgeting, and allows analysis of your expenses and income, including charts and graphs. Two key differentiating features of HomeBudget are:
1. Integrated set of features. The features within HomeBudget are well integrated such that a bill can become an expense (when you pay for it) and also adjust the account balance at the same time.
2. Family sync. HomeBudget includes Family Sync, an advanced feature that allows a group of devices within the household to exchange expense and income information, and work together within a single budget. Once setup, the devices sync with each other automatically over the air. Family Sync works across all features including Bills and Accounts. Please refer to the Family Sync Quick Start guide at http://www.anishu.com for information on configuring Family Sync.

Community Voice & Feedback
Like many others, I’ve been using this app for many years now. For those who value privacy/security - this is a great option as it runs & stores your data locally, while also offering an option to transfer your data from one device to another. Easy to setup, use and I haven’t had the need to use anything else.
My wife and I share ALL our accounts…and there are a lot of them. I used to keep track of the on written ledgers, which was pretty tough to do when you have joint accounts.
HomeBudget is pretty great…and it is very easy to use. The app syncs your data to DropBox and cascades any changes to the other device’s linked to your account.
You card as many accounts as you want, put them categories by type, transfer funds to another account, set up manage recurring bill and payments…and more.
It’s pretty easy to reconcile; however, the app could use some improvements, mostly with filtering abilities. It’d be nice to be able to Filter for expense, by reconciliation status or by amount range.

Purchasing this app was one of my better choices. You have everything you need to keep track of your spending. I should have been keeping a budget years ago. I really like the pie chart and line charts. This budget app enables one to break down categories into useful subcategories to your liking as well as assign pictorial icons. I am completely satisfied with the ease of use.
I’ve been using HomeBudget for about 10 years now and it’s my only budgeting program. The only issue I’ve had is some number inconsistencies between Mac/Windows, so I just keep everything on Mac products now.
Search is working great now. I love this app! UPDATE ON 12/3/25: I no longer love this app. Search no longer works and it’s calculating the bank balance incorrectly. The balance is about $154 off. I’ve spent hours trying to figure out a way to fix it, but even when I change the dates, the balance is still off. I think I’m going back to my spreadsheet. I’ve tried too many apps like this, and they all become more difficult to use over time.
Another update on 12/3/25. So I am eating a little bit of crow right now. Search seems to be working again and most of the balance problem was due to my error. I really wish we could move entries in the account apps. It would make balancing my checkbook to the statement way, way easier than it does now.

I have tried several budget apps but they were always lacking in some option I really wanted. I had been using a home bank register to keep records. I believe I can now dispose of it. I can open/close accounts, do a budget the way I want and even balance to the bank acct daily. It’s really well worth the $4.99
I love this app, it’s simple, and gives me full control of my income and expenses. I wish it would get updated more often (i.e. iPad magic keyboard to input numbers instead of the on screen one) I’ve searched for an alternative that has more updates, but nothing compares to this thing.
Excellent app and easy to use.
There’s enough time for HomeBudget to work and get done with syncing with banks in USA and Dominican Republic and other countries
I’ve been using this app for years and it has never failed me. I love being able to control and manually enter everything I need.
I’ve been faithfully using app for 12 years. Very sad to see the dev has abandoned it. The bugs have slowly collected, outdated interface, no native dark mode support and overall stagnation of feature development have caused me to search for alternatives.
After experimenting with 126 alternative expense trackers, I finally found the best one: Budget Sync (by Fabian). encourage everyone looking for an alternative to move your data now.
To Anishu: I want to thank you for developing this great app that I was able to use to track every cent for 12 years. Best of luck to you !

We’ve used HomeBudget since around 2014. Unlike other apps, we like that this one offers the ability to create and organize our own categories. The bank sync has never worked but that would elevate this app to near perfect.
Easy to use and trusted for last few years. Recommend for personal home money management.
I would love to give this app a five star unfortunately one of the major Future does not work, which is OneBudget. You should be able to set up one budget, and should display a horizontal bar indicating the budget you set. In this case it does not work. I’ve contacted the developer at least five times if not more, they never responded. Terrible customer service. Of course they already got my money, so why should they? So don’t bother spending your money on this app.
I found a bug and reported it. Never heard back from the developer after multiple attempts. I’ve been a user for 4-5 years. Disappointed in the lack of a response. Save your money and go with a more dependable app (developer).
