Buddi is an open source, java based Windows, LINUX, OS X personal finance program, available in English, German and Norwegian, with other languages planned.
From the web site: Buddi is a personal finance and budgeting program, aimed at those who have little or no financial background. In making this software, I have attempted to make things as simple as possible, while still retaining enough functions to satisfy most home users.
Buddi is available for free: you can download it for free, with no disabled features and no time limit. If you like it, and feel that it is useful, I would greatly appreciate a small donation via the link at the bottom of the page.
Buddi will run on almost any computer which has a Java virtual machine installed. This can include Windows, Macintosh OS X, Linux, and many other operating systems. One thing to note is that you must have Java 1.5 or later installed. If you are running on Macintosh OS X 10.4 (Tiger), and you do not already have it installed, you can get Java 1.5 here. If you are running on a different operating system, like Windows, please consult the help files. If you need to download a copy of the Java VM, you can do so from here.
Buddi is currently available in English, German, and Norwegian, and there are plans for Spanish, French and Russian translations in the near future. If you are interested in translating to another language, feel free to do so! I would greatly appreciate it if you also sent me the translated file once you are finished. For more details, please see the developers page.
Buddi is released under the GNU General Public License. Since Buddi is released as Open Source Software, everyone has free access to the source code (available for download from the SourceForge project page). This gives you have the ability to modify the program if you want it to work a little differently, or if you want to add some new features. For more information on Open Source Software in general, and the GNU General Public License in particular, you can refer to Wikipedia.
