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.
OmniClip
OmniClip syncs clipboard text, images, and files among a user’s connected devices. It is available on the web, iOS, Android, and as a Chrome extension; the maker describes copying between combinations such as Mac and Android or iPhone and Windows PC. Users can search clipboard history to retrieve items and save frequently used clips, including links, addresses, and email templates, as favorites. Notifications can report when content is copied on another device. Optional end-to-end encryption protects content on the device before cloud transfer; when enabled, the maker says only the user can decrypt it. Other listed safeguards include TLS 1.3 in transit, encryption at rest, multi-factor authentication support, and OAuth 2.0. Google Firebase is listed for authentication and data storage, and Google Sign-In for account authentication. OmniClip is currently free, though storage limits may apply. The maker says applicable limits will be communicated and may concern item count, file size, or total capacity.
