Download FlyBudget
Free and open source. Your budget stays in a file on your computer: no account, no subscription.
Desktop app
Windows
Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit
- Installer (.exe)For most PCs
Run the installer. If Windows says Windows protected your PC, choose More info, then Run anyway: FlyBudget isn't signed with a paid Microsoft certificate yet.
macOS
macOS 12 Monterey or later
- Apple silicon (.dmg)Macs with an M1 chip or newer (2020 and later)
- Intel (.dmg)Older Macs with an Intel processor
Open the .dmg and drag FlyBudget to Applications. The first time you open it, macOS says it can't check it for malicious software, because FlyBudget isn't notarized by Apple yet. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down, and choose Open Anyway next to FlyBudget.
Linux
64-bit Linux, x86 or ARM
- Ubuntu and Debian (.deb)Also Linux Mint, Pop!_OS and other Debian-based systems
- Any distribution (.AppImage)Fedora, Arch, openSUSE and others
- ARM (.deb, .AppImage)Raspberry Pi 4 and 5, ARM laptops
.deb: open it with your software installer, or run sudo apt install ./FlyBudget-Linux-amd64.deb. AppImage: make it executable (chmod +x FlyBudget-Linux-x86_64.AppImage) and run it. On Ubuntu 24.04 and later, use the .deb: AppImages can't start Electron apps there without extra setup.
Then follow Getting started to add your accounts and plan your first budget. To update, download the new version and install it over the old one: your budget stays where it is.
