Local-first budget app

Your budget, on your device.

Breadsheet is a local-first budget app for Android. Your transactions, budgets, and accounts are stored on your device by default - not uploaded to a server, not tied to an account.

No account required. No bank connection needed.

What local-first means in practice

Most finance apps store your data on their servers and require an account before you can start. Breadsheet takes the opposite approach: your data lives on your device first.

Starts on your device

Transactions, budgets, and accounts are stored locally. No upload happens in the background.

No account to begin

Open the app and start tracking. Sign in only to restore a Pro purchase on a new device.

AI only when you ask

Voice, receipt, and assistant features send data only for the specific request you make - nothing in the background.

Local-first and AI are not opposites.

Some people assume AI features mean their data is in the cloud. In Breadsheet they are opt-in and scoped. When you use voice entry, that recording is sent for transcription. When you scan a receipt, that photo is sent for extraction. When you ask the assistant a question, the question and a small slice of recent context are sent. That is all.

Your full transaction history never leaves your device. There is no background sync and no persistent server copy of your budget.

Private by default, not by setting.

Breadsheet's privacy model is structural, not a toggle. Data stays local because that is how the app is built, not because you opted into a "privacy mode." You do not need to trust a privacy policy to get the default behavior - the default behavior is local storage.

Questions about local-first budgeting

What does local-first mean in Breadsheet?+

Local-first means your transactions, budgets, and accounts are stored on your device by default, not on a server. Breadsheet works without any server connection for core features.

Does Breadsheet ever send my transaction data to a server?+

Your transaction history is not sent to our servers. AI features send only what a single request needs - a voice note, a receipt photo, or a question with a small amount of recent spending context - and only when you use them.

Do I need an account to use Breadsheet?+

No account is required to start. You only sign in if you want to restore a Pro purchase on a new device.

What happens if I uninstall the app?+

Because data is stored locally, uninstalling the app removes your data from that device. Export to CSV before uninstalling if you want to keep a copy.

Is Breadsheet a private budget app?+

Breadsheet is designed with privacy as a default, not an option. Data lives on your device, no account is required, no bank connection is used, and AI features run only when you ask.
