BeeCount

Overview of BeeCount

What it is

BeeCount is a local-first, open-source personal finance and expense tracking application for iOS, Android, and Web. It prioritizes user data privacy and sovereignty by offering offline-first operation and multiple self-hosted or third-party sync options, including BeeCount Cloud, iCloud, Supabase, WebDAV, and S3. The application is fully free, with no ads, no tracking, and no data collection.

Key features

• AI-powered smart bookkeeping: natural language conversation, OCR from screenshots, voice input, and automatic screenshot capture (Android accessibility service / iOS shortcut).
• Multi-account and multi-ledger management: separate ledgers for life, work, or investments, each with its own currency; independent accounts for cash, bank cards, and credit cards with automatic transfer balance updates.
• Two-level categories, budget management (monthly total + category budgets + overspend alerts), recurring transactions (daily/weekly/monthly/yearly), and a tag system with color markers.
• Chart analysis: monthly reports, category rankings, trend analysis, and annual reports.
• Data import/export: CSV (Alipay/WeChat bills) and YAML configuration export.
• Dark mode (pure black with accent borders, OLED-friendly), multilingual support (Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, community-contributed Korean), desktop widgets (8 content types, 14 sizes), and theme customization.

Use cases

• Individuals who want full control over their financial data and prefer self-hosted or offline-first solutions.
• Users needing cross-platform bookkeeping with real-time sync across iOS, Android, and Web.
• People who want AI-assisted bookkeeping via voice, OCR, or natural language conversation.
• Families or small teams requiring shared ledgers with role-based access (Owner/Editor) and per-transaction attribution.
