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.

CopyQ

CopyQ keeps a searchable history of clipboard content on Linux, macOS and Windows. It monitors the system clipboard and saves entries in customizable tabs, where users can search, copy, paste, browse and filter past items. Stored formats include text, HTML, images and other custom clipboard data. Entries can be edited, sorted, tagged or annotated. The app also offers system-wide keyboard shortcuts, customizable commands, scripting and a command-line interface; shared commands can be added or imported from the CopyQ Commands repository. Its appearance is customizable, and it includes a Vim-like editor. CopyQ says it does not collect other data or send anything over the network. It recognizes secret clipboard formats by default and excludes that content from storage, display and automatic commands. Built-in encryption can protect stored tab data with a user-set password, kept through Windows Credential Store, macOS Keychain, GNOME Keyring or KWallet. The documented default storage limit is 100 MiB per MIME type, and MIME-specific limits can be changed. The application is free under GPL-3.0.
