https://video.elfhosted.com/videos/watch/87fde38f-5c55-40b7-bed1-12007101dc94 Actual Budget is an envelope budgeting app. Hosted Actual Budget keeps your phone, computer and the web in sync, and stays up when your internet doesn't. Run Actual Budget with ElfHosted: your ElfHosted server keeps your phone, your computer and the web in sync, and it lives on our servers, not a box in your cupboard, so your budget doesn't go down when your home internet does. Actual Budget itself is the work of the Actual community: an open-source budget app. What is Actual Budget? A budget app built around envelope budgeting: money comes in, you split it into envelopes, and you see what's left in each. Switch on end-to-end encryption and your budget is locked with a key only you hold. Add Wallos from ElfHosted too, and your subscriptions get tracked alongside your everyday spending. With hosted Actual Budget, we run the server for you, keep it updated, and give it a secure address your phone can reach from anywhere. It's backed up daily, and you can restore it yourself whenever you need to. Sam, ElfHosted's AI helper, sends a push alert if Actual Budget goes down (once you've said yes to its alerts), tells you why, and restarts it with your OK. When Sam can't help, our team is on Discord around the clock, in a family-friendly, carefully moderated server. Actual Budget is part of the ElfHosted Flex collection: a Flex plan runs several apps from the collection at once, and you swap which ones whenever you like. Every Flex plan starts with a 7-day trial. Actual Budget is open source; ElfHosted is not affiliated with the project. You can support the project through the link below. It's one place for support for every app you run with us, handled by professionals, instead of a GitHub issue, docs that may be out of date, or yet another Discord per project. Unlike a generic chatbot, which guesses and overcomplicates, Sam is tuned on these apps and the way we run them: he safely reads your actual logs and proposes a fix, and nothing changes until you approve it.
