A free, no-ads budget tracker built for people who keep their own books — sole proprietors, farmers, and anyone itemizing deductions.
Create a free account LoginIf you run a small business out of your home, work as a contractor or freelancer, run a working farm, or just track itemized deductions for your tax return, you have the same problem: every transaction matters at tax time, and most "personal finance" apps don't think that way.
Dad's Budget Tracker is a plain, fast tool for recording transactions, attaching receipts (photos or PDFs), categorizing them, and exporting clean records when it's time to file or hand things to an accountant. There are no ads, no subscription tiers, and no upsells. The whole site runs on one developer's spare time and an occasional tip.
It's built around three real groups:
You don't have to prepare your own taxes to get value out of it. Plenty of users keep records throughout the year and hand a clean export to their CPA in February — that handoff is exactly what the site is shaped around.
Practical guides written from real bookkeeping experience — not legal or tax advice, but the kind of thing you'd want a friend with a side business to tell you over coffee.
What to capture during the year so your accountant doesn't bill you extra hours sorting it out — and so you don't lose deductions to fuzzy memory.
Schedule C, Schedule F, and Schedule A walk-throughs; year-end tax-prep checklist; receipts and IRS retention rules; app how-tos.
Receipts and reports are encrypted at rest. No third-party trackers. Your data is yours.
Designed for plain language and big buttons. If your dad can use it, anyone can.
Free forever. No credit card. No ads. Takes about a minute to set up.
