Written via the impeccable init flow. Records what future work must not reinvent: a permanently single-user tool for one person managing their own money, offline-only with no account, and five product principles including two the owner added directly — changing an allocation must never destroy history, and splitting a purchase across posts must stay easy. Evidence on Hand deliberately records absences: no customers, testimonials, usage data or integrations exist, and the only real content is the owner's own budget data, which never leaves their browser. Future surfaces must not manufacture them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]>
Budget 2.0
A personal budgeting PWA. Envelope-style monthly budgets with rollover, split purchases, finance plans, multi-currency, and JSON/ODS export. All data lives in your browser — there is no server and no account.
Development
bun install
bun --hot src/index.ts # dev server with hot reload
bun test # run the test suite
bun run build # production build into dist/
Self-hosting with Docker
docker build -t budget2 .
docker run --rm -p 3000:3000 budget2
To serve from a subpath, build and run with BUN_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH:
docker build -t budget2 --build-arg BUN_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH=/budget/ .
docker run --rm -p 3000:3000 -e BUN_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH=/budget/ budget2
GitHub Pages
Pushing to main builds and deploys to Pages automatically, using
/<repository-name>/ as the base path. Enable Pages with "GitHub Actions" as
the source in the repository settings.
Your data
Everything is stored in this browser's IndexedDB. Export regularly from Settings → Your data: the JSON export is both your backup and how you move your budget to another device. Import replaces everything and downloads a backup of your current data first.
Known limitations
- Data is per-browser. There is no account and no sync. If you clear this browser's site data, or move to a different browser or device, your budget is gone unless you exported it first. The JSON export is not just a nice-to-have backup — it is the only way to move a budget between devices.
- The install prompt is incomplete.
manifest.webmanifestcurrently only ships an SVG icon. Chrome requires PNG icons at 192×192 and 512×512 to offer the "Install app" prompt; until those are added, the app works fine as a regular tab but won't be installable on Chrome/Chromium.
