Budget app Allot keeps your financial data in-browser, never on a server
Developer Hitesh M. built Allot, a free envelope-budgeting app that stores all data locally in IndexedDB with no server, no account, and no subscription. The app uses vanilla JavaScript, Cloudflare Pages, and supports importing bank statements from CSV, OFX, and other formats. It offers optional end-to-end encrypted sync and costs nothing, contrasting with market leaders charging over $100/year.

The privacy-first architecture is laudable, but the lack of server-side backups and reliance on browser storage means users bear full responsibility for data loss.
