Christ-centered budgeting and planning

Giving comes first. The rest is planned on purpose.

Firstfruits Budget brings budgeting and planning together around a biblical view of money. Your giving is set apart at the top of every month, and everything that's left gets a plan.

How it works

Give first, then plan the rest

Most budgets treat giving as whatever is left at the end. Firstfruits Budget turns that around: giving comes off the top, and the rest of the month is planned on purpose.

  1. Step 1

    Set your giving goal

    Choose a percentage of income (10% by default, a tithe) or a fixed monthly amount. The "Given first" card shows how close you are.

  2. Step 2

    Bring in your transactions

    Sync read-only with your bank through SimpleFIN Bridge, import CSV or Quicken files, use the REST API, or add them by hand.

  3. Step 3

    Plan and review the rest

    Give each spending category a monthly budget. You'll see "$38 left" when you're close and "Over by $119" if you go past it.

  • Giving first

    Giving is counted before spending, kept out of budgets, and never triggers a budget warning.

  • A clear dashboard

    Income, giving, spending and what's left, compared like-for-like with the same day last month.

  • Bank sync and imports

    Read-only bank sync every 6 hours, plus safe re-imports of CSV, OFX and QFX files.

  • Budgets and rules

    Monthly budgets per category, and rules that categorise new transactions for you.

  • Notifications

    Budget, large-transaction and sync alerts to Slack, Discord, ntfy, Telegram, email and more.

  • Shared and secure

    One budget for the whole household, with roles and two-factor sign-in.

    A phone-first layout that installs to your home screen on iPhone and Android.

  • Private and yours

    Docker Compose or Portainer, PostgreSQL, and automatic nightly backups.

On your phone

Check in from the checkout line

On a phone, Firstfruits Budget switches to a layout made for one hand: a bottom tab bar, transactions grouped by day, and forms that open as bottom sheets.

  • Installs to the home screen on iPhone and Android, with its own icon.
  • Financial data is never cached on the device.
  • Light and dark themes that follow your device.

Private by design

Your financial data stays with you

You run Firstfruits Budget on your own computer or server. There are no accounts with us, no tracking, and nothing loaded from third-party CDNs.

  • Simple to run

    Docker Compose or Portainer, with the app, a PostgreSQL database and automatic nightly backups.

  • Backups kept for a year

    14 daily, 8 weekly and 12 monthly copies, made automatically every night.

  • Hardened containers

    Read-only filesystem, a non-root user, and Linux capabilities dropped. Every build is scanned for known vulnerabilities.

  • Private access

    Works behind Cloudflare Tunnel and Access, Tailscale or WireGuard, with a health check endpoint for monitoring.
