Cowspent is a shared budget manager able to synchronize with Nextcloud Cospend. It is partially based on MoneyBuster

What did we change from MoneyBuster ?

We added more statistics, support for projects marked as archived (hidden by default), added support for custom splits to bills, added a way to add categories to bills missing them. Behind the scenes we migrated the UI and app into Kotlin and Jetpack Compose for a smoother and more modern experience.

What's different from other shared budget managers?

You can keep your project local or make it synchronize with Nextcloud Cospend projects. This means you can choose where your data is going and preserve your privacy.

Features

Requirements

If you want to host a project in Nextcloud Cospend :

If you want to be able to create remote projects from Cowspent : enable public project creation on your Nextcloud Cospend instance.

Alternatives

MoneyBuster which is FOSS but has older UI and was missing some QoL features. Tricount, Cospender, Splitwise etc... which are not FOSS and force you to give away your private data.

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
