Burrow
A private budget and journal app with a local AI helper
Burrow keeps your budget, journal, todos, habits and notes in one Windows app, saved in a file on your own computer. No account, no tracking, and nothing goes online unless you switch it on. Javi, the built-in helper, runs on your PC. Free, or Pro $49 once.
Hi Product Hunt, I'm Christian, an independent developer.
I built Burrow because every budgeting and journaling app I tried wanted an account, a subscription, and my data on their server. I wanted the opposite: one app on my own computer that works with Wi-Fi off.
What it does:
- Budget, journal, todos, habits, calendar, notes, bookmarks, countdowns, focus timer and subscriptions in one place
- Import your bank's CSV with a preview first; export everything as JSON, CSV and Markdown any time
- Automatic daily backups on your computer, with one-click restore
- Every online feature (weather, Oura, update check, license check) is a switch in Settings > Network, and all of them start off
Javi, the built-in helper, runs on your PC through Ollama, a free app.
One rule I care about: Burrow does every sum with plain code, and Javi only explains the result in plain words, so it can't make up your numbers. In Pro, Javi can also make changes for you, and each one waits until you click Approve.
Pricing is simple: the app is free with every module and no limits. Pro is $49 once (Founding $99 with 2 years of updates until January 5, 2027). No subscription, ever. You can try Pro free for 7 days inside the app, no card needed.
Honest notes: it's Windows 10 and 11 only for now (x64 and ARM64), and Mac and Linux are coming. It isn't code-signed yet, so Windows may show "Windows protected your PC": click More info, then Run anyway. Every release lists SHA-256 checksums so you can check the download.
I'd love your feedback, especially on what you'd want Javi to do next. I'll be here all day answering questions.
