Buckets

Finding the perfect financial planner or personal budgeting app may turn out to be a far more challenging task than one might think, especially if you take into account the sheer number of such apps out there as well as their inherited complexity.

If you're currently in the market for a friendly, no-nonsense financial planner, then you should definitely give Buckets a chance to prove its worth, as it sports an almost-close-to-perfect balance between features and user-accessibility.

Key Features:

• Electron-based utility

Getting started with Buckets only requires a small portion of your time and attention thanks to its straightforward installer.

Once launched, you are greeted by a reasonably straightforward, non-impressive GUI with a typical menu bar on the upper part of the main window and side panel on the left.

Easy to Use:

To get started, add one or multiple accounts and set specific balances. Import data from various sources or directly from your bank if it supports SimpleFIN service. Create buckets to categorize your finances and manage your financial goals effectively.

As expected, Buckets automatically calculates all the required expenses according to the chosen bucket type. The Rain section provides a clear representation of uncategorized funds.

Cross-Platform Support:

Buckets is an interesting, cross-platform app aimed at both Windows and Mac users who are looking for an efficient and hassle-free solution for managing their financial situation. It provides a set of easy-to-use tools packaged within a convenient GUI.

In case you prefer a visual-based learning method, official tutorials can be found on the app's YouTube channel.
