Buddi vs PastePaw

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.

PastePaw is a clipboard history application for macOS with a local MCP server that lets compatible agents search, read and write clips. Search checks the first 300 characters of each clip and any note attached to it. Eighteen clip tools cover formats and tasks including JSON, Base64, URL, YAML, XML, Markdown, HTML, JWT, QR and OCR. The macOS interface provides horizontal and vertical layouts, 20 themes, 29 looks, and light or dark modes. Clipboard history remains in a local SQLite database and is not uploaded, although anonymous usage statistics are enabled by default and can be disabled. Secure Collections encrypt stored clips, unlock with Touch ID or a Mac password, and stay unavailable to MCP clients; the main history database is not encrypted. Triggered AI features send selected content to the chosen provider. macOS requires version 14 or later on Intel or Apple Silicon. A separate Windows app is free and open source but omits several macOS features.
