In their own words

Buddi

Buddi is a free budgeting program intended for people with little or no financial background. It lets users create accounts and categories, enter transactions, and review their spending habits. Project documentation shows a main budget window and reports including a net worth graph and income pie graph. Buddi runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows and is licensed under GNU General Public License version 2.0 (GPLv2). The project lists Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, and Swedish. A separate plugins project lists CSV and QIF import and export plugins. Older.buddi files require the Import Legacy Buddi Data plugin rather than the default.buddi3 format; older plugins may also require updates or recompilation after a version change. The latest listed version is Buddi-3.4.1.14, and stable files are dated 2019-04-03. The project describes Buddi Live as an online option available on mobile devices, though phones are difficult to use and tablets work better. Buddi costs nothing.

Clipman

Clipman is a free, open-source clipboard manager for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPhone, and iPad. Its history can be searched, named, grouped, pinned, edited, and pasted without opening the app first. It handles text, links, formatting, images, and files, with optional views for links and rich text. The app is designed for keyboard and screen-reader use, with predictable keyboard behavior and concise spoken feedback. History can stay on a device, use a shared folder, or be stored on an optional self-hosted Clipman Server. Windows and Mac can synchronize through a cloud-synced folder or network share; the server supports encrypted synchronization across supported platforms. Privacy controls include history encryption, excluding selected apps, and honoring clipboard privacy signals. Quick Paste provides global hotkeys and templates, while Quick Clip saves an entry directly. A command-line tool can manage server-backed text history on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The project releases Clipman under the MIT License.
