Two workspace types
Household: monthly rhythm, budgets, savings targets, yearly overview. Project: bounded window, period overview, optional cap warnings.
Household & project finance
BudgetCheck
Record income and expenses in separate workspaces (household or bounded project), optionally with a VAT mode, and close months with a snapshot and calculation hash. All totals are computed server-side on your server. No bank sync.
What it does
Each workspace stays separate: a household ledger for monthly budgets and savings, or a project ledger for a defined period and optional spending cap. Categories, members, and tax settings stay inside that workspace. Your server calculates every total and seals each monthly close so figures stay reproducible.
Server-side calculations
Money is calculated on your Nextcloud with exact currency amounts. Totals stay consistent and audit-ready.
Monthly close
Seal a finished month as a locked snapshot you can verify later. Reopen only when an admin deliberately allows edits again.
Tax-aware mode
Enter amounts net or gross with clear VAT conversion when projects need it — or keep household books simple without tax modes.
Savings targets
For households: track a yearly target, see your progress, and let the monthly rhythm do the work.
Members & categories
Each workspace has its own members, categories, and tax settings — so household and project data stay cleanly separated.
WCAG-aware UI
Built for WCAG 2.1 AA, full keyboard use, and small screens. Household and project totals stay on their own screens.
Audit trail
Every close and reopen is logged. Sealed snapshots stay checkable, so changes after the fact are visible.

Licensing
Install the BudgetCheck web app from the Nextcloud App Store under AGPL — no licence fee. The official Android companion is sold as a one-time Google Play licence (price varies by country; Germany currently about €1.99 incl. VAT). No organisation seat licence and not sold via this site’s order form. It is not yet publicly listed on Play; until then the web app covers the feature set. No bank sync, no OCR, no iOS in v1.
