Buddi is a personal finance and budgeting program, aimed at those who have little or no financial background. In making this software, I have attempted to make things as simple as possible, while still retaining enough functions to satisfy most home users.

Buddi will run on almost any computer which has a Java virtual machine installed. This can include Windows, Macintosh OS X, Linux, and many other operating systems. One thing to note is that you must have Java 1.5 or later installed. If you are running on Macintosh OS X 10.4 (Tiger), and you do not already have it installed, you can get Java 1.5 from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/java2se50release3.html. If you are running on a different operating system, like Windows, please consult the help files. If you need to download a copy of the Java VM, you can do so from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp.

Buddi is currently available in English, German, and Norwegian, and there are plans for Spanish, French and Russian translations in the near future. If you are interested in translating to another language, feel free to do so! I would greatly appreciate it if you also sent me the translated file once you are finished. For more details, please see the developers page at http://buddi.sourceforge.net/en/developers.php.
