Hey! I'm Gabe 👋

I'm the creator and solo developer of BudgetBean. I always hated how most budgeting apps lock features behind paywalls, force you into trials, or don’t even let you use the app unless you pay. I got so fed up I started using Google Sheets instead, just trying to be frugal and find a free solution.

Eventually, even that annoyed me… so I built BudgetBean for myself.
At first, I had no intention of sharing it with the world, but then it hit me: I can't be the only one who feels this way.

So I kept improving it, and now my goal is to keep BudgetBean 100% free, forever. No locked features. No trials. No monthly fees. I believe budgeting should be accessible to everyone, not gatekept.

And yeah, it’s kinda ironic that you’re reading this on a donation page 😅 But here's the truth: to keep this vision alive and free, even small donations help a ton.

I truly appreciate every bit of support. It means the world, and it fuels the growth of this app. I’m also planning to give supporters a little something special in the future, as a thank-you from me to you.

Thanks again for being here.
