Next Steps for Funding Contributors

Sat, 17 Jan 2026 10:00:00 GMT

Over the last few months, our system for compensating core contributors has proven effective. We've built a sustainable foundation that recognizes the invisible labor that keeps the project running. Now, it's time to look ahead.

Expanding Rewards Beyond Core Maintenance

While the current program rewards essential maintenance tasks (reviews, triage, releases), we want to broaden our scope. The next step is to reward the people doing the work that moves the project forward — fixing bugs, implementing features, and improving the user experience.

The Ideal: Targeted Donations

In a perfect world, we'd enable donors to fund specific issues or features directly. Someone could say, "I'll donate $50 toward fixing this bug," or "I'll help fund this feature I really want."

At this time, OpenCollective doesn't offer targeted donations, and previous third-party tools designed for this purpose have either been discontinued, changed direction in problematic ways, or mismanaged funds. To avoid potential risks and additional administrative overhead, we're not pursuing targeted donations right now. That said, we'll keep evaluating this option and revisit it if a reliable solution becomes available in the future.

A Practical Alternative: Points for Feature Work

If targeted donations aren't possible, the next best approach may be to extend our existing points-based system for core maintainers. Each merged pull request could earn the author a fixed number of points. This approach encourages contributors to submit smaller, more focused pull requests rather than large, hard-to-review ones.

At the end of each month, we'll calculate the points earned by each contributor from all eligible activities—including merged pull requests, code and docs reviews, and triaging issues. Each person's payout will be proportional to their total points out of everyone's combined score for the month. To reflect the broader range of rewarded work, we're increasing our monthly funding pool from $1,000 to $2,000.

This model keeps things transparent and simple while rewarding real work from across the community.

Funding all contributors

There's strong interest in compensating everyone who contributes meaningful work. However, we also have a valid concern that broad payments might encourage low-quality or superficial pull requests. We need to find a balance between being open to more contributors and maintaining quality.

Steps we plan to take:

Donating a portion of funds to upstream projects or well-maintained plugins that our project depends on.

Using a nomination-based system (similar to how we distribute swag) to recognize and reward active contributors.

For non-maintainers:

Consensus is leaning toward nominations and issue bounties rather than tracking every single contribution.

There's an open question on how to implement bounties efficiently without adding heavy administrative overhead. We're open to hearing all ideas in this domain!

We'd love to hear what you think. Does this direction make sense to you? Should we move forward with it?

All feedback is welcome — your input helps shape how we fund and sustain this project.

Reflecting on Your 2025 Finances

Sat, 10 Jan 2026 10:00:00 GMT

As we step into 2026, it's natural to look back at the year that just passed. While many apps send you a "year in review" at the end of December, we thought it would be fun to create something special for Actual Budget users — a way to reflect on your financial journey throughout 2025.

Introducing Actual Budget Wrapped 2025

We've built a small web app that helps you visualize your financial story from the past year. Actual Budget Wrapped 2025 takes your Actual Budget data and transforms it into a personalized financial recap.

Whether you want to see your biggest spending categories, track your income trends, or simply marvel at how many transactions you've managed — this tool gives you a different perspective on your financial data. Sometimes it's helpful to step back and see the bigger picture of where your money went throughout the year.

The app is designed to be simple and privacy-focused. Your data stays in your browser and is processed locally. We don't collect or store any of your financial information — it's just between you and your Actual Budget file.

Why Reflect?

Looking back at your finances can be eye-opening. Maybe you'll discover patterns you weren't aware of, or perhaps you'll be pleasantly surprised by how much progress you've made toward your goals. Maybe you'll spot areas where you can improve, or celebrate wins you've forgotten about.

Personal finance isn't just about numbers on a screen — it's about the choices we make, the goals we set, and the progress we track along the way. Sometimes taking a step back helps us appreciate how far we've come.

So head over to wrapped.actualbudget.org and take a few minutes to see your 2025 financial story. We hope it brings you some insights, or at the very least, a moment of reflection as you plan for the year ahead.

Here's to making 2026 another great year for your finances!

Roadmap for 2026

Sat, 20 Dec 2025 10:00:00 GMT

Hello Actual Budgeters! Another year has gone by with many fixes and upgrades to Actual. Let's look back over the year and also look at what's to come.

2025 in review

It's always fun to look back and see all the progress made in Actual over the course of a year. It's easy to forget how many of the features we love weren't available back at the beginning of the year.

New features

My favorites in approximately chronological order are:

OIDC and multi-user support
Adjustable upcoming time frame for schedules
Multiple new report types
NPM package for the sync server
Translations
Bank sync management page
Desktop app improvements such as the embedded server
Auto-hold income
Merge transactions
Transaction tags
Mobile pages for Rules, Payees, Schedules, and Bank Sync
Budget Currencies (still experimental)
Quickly add single schedules from the account view

Note on Translations: Translations are a never-ending project. Every month there are new or modified strings that need to be translated. We could use as many contributors to translation as we can get. If you are interested in helping translate Actual into other languages see our translation guide.

If you remember our roadmap from last year, you will see that we were able to accomplish all but one of our goals, plugins. I will touch on that more below.

Maintainer and contributor payments

This year we started paying small stipends to the core maintainer team, and giving out SWAG items to other contributors. The maintainer stipends are based on points received for doing the necessary, but not very exciting, parts of maintaining Actual. This is only possible because of the generous donations from you the users. Many of you donate regularly and there are over 8000 Pikapods users whose hosting fees partially go towards supporting Actual. We offer a very hearty thank you to those who are donating. See the bottom of the post for ways to support the project if you would like to donate.

2026 Wish list

Plugins: We have been working on adding plugins to allow users to more easily add functionality to the app without the need to add said feature to the base app. The feature is not quite ready as plugins have a tendency to break existing features, which slows down development a great deal. We are doing everything we can to not break existing features that we know you rely on. Our hope is to have plugins ready for you to build on in the first few months of 2026.

The first plugins we will be adding will be to migrate the existing bank sync providers. We also are looking at adding multiple new providers soon after. Multiple prospective providers have reached out to us in just the last few months and are patiently waiting for plugins before fully integrating into Actual.

Goals UI: The goal templates and cleanup templates experimental features are used by many, if not most of you. We plan on getting a proper GUI put together for these to make adding and editing templates less prone to error. This would also include the ability to predict the total needed to meet all set budget goals, see all active goals, and easily modify fill order.

Mobile view feature parity: The mobile view has received many updates this year but it still lacks a number of features that are available on desktop. We would like to bring that disparity down to close to 0 this year.

Rewrite the transaction table: The transaction table is probably the most important feature of the app, even more so than the budget itself. The code for the transaction table is complicated, and not conducive to new features. We plan to rewrite this code to be more maintainable, more accessible to new contributors, and more extendable for new features such as resizing columns.

Debt account type: Currently Actual only has a standard account, you can add transactions and there is a balance. This is perfect for checking and savings accounts, but less great for loans. We would like to bring back account types to make more specialty type accounts easier to manage in Actual, starting with loan accounts. The ability to automate this is technically already available with rules and schedules, but adding in a custom account type that does the setup for you would be that much better. We will look at what other account types would make sense for the base app, but with plugins the possibilities are endless.

Better and faster code tests: We have stared work on upgrading our CI/CD to use Rust based tooling. This speeds up the tests immensely and makes development and testing faster.

(Remember to vote on the features you would like to see get added to Actual. Use this link to see all open feature requests and vote by reacting with 👍)

Thank you all that contribute! Whether that be through donations, bug reporting, code submissions, documentation edits, or helping on discord, Actual wouldn't exist without you.

Happy Budgeting and have a happy new year!

Fighting AI Slop

Sat, 15 Nov 2025 10:00:00 GMT

Actual has started receiving what can only be described as AI slop — pull requests and issues generated entirely by automated systems with no human involvement. These require the same amount of triage and review time as genuine contributions, but add no value. Every minute spent dealing with machine-generated junk is time not spent improving Actual itself.

The Problem

To be clear: AI is a useful tool. We use it ourselves to draft code, fix bugs, and build features. Heck - even this article was written with the assistance of AI. But the difference is that a human is always in charge. We review, test, and take responsibility for what we merge. What we are seeing now is the opposite — unreviewed output blindly pushed upstream (i.e. opened as PRs or issues). That is not contribution; it's pollution.

Our Policy

From this point on, we will close any PRs or issues that appear to be 100% AI-generated with no sign of human oversight. This isn't about being harsh, it's about protecting the limited time our maintainers have to review genuine contributions.

Why This Matters

Every AI slop PR or issue requires the same triage and review time as genuine contributions. With limited maintainer bandwidth, this directly impacts:

Response times for real issues and feature requests
Time available for reviewing legitimate contributions
Overall project velocity

We want to spend our time improving Actual, not filtering through automated noise.

How to Contribute Properly with AI

If you're using AI to help with contributions, that's perfectly fine! Just make sure you:

Review everything before submitting, understand what changed and why
Test your changes - don't assume AI-generated code works correctly
Respond to feedback - be ready to discuss, iterate, and improve your contribution
Take responsibility - you're the one submitting it, so make sure it's something you stand behind
Tag them with "ai generated" (This isn't something we can truly enforce, but it's a gesture of good will — it helps everyone in the review process know when AI was involved.)

For more details on how to contribute, see our contributing guidelines.

A Silver Lining

One small silver lining: our "WIP" (Work-In-Progress) workflow — which requires contributors to manually remove the "WIP" prefix before a PR can be reviewed — has proven effective at filtering out AI bots. It's an unintentional captcha we have built. Many of them can't complete that simple step, so their PRs go stale and close automatically.

Even so, it would be better not to receive AI slop at all.

Keep It Human

Please, if you're using AI to help contribute, stay in the loop. Review, edit, and understand what you're submitting. Actual is built by humans, for humans. Keep it that way.

We're grateful for all genuine contributions, whether AI-assisted or not. The key is human oversight and understanding. Thank you for helping keep Actual focused on what matters.

Continuing to reward contributors

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 10:00:00 GMT

Three months ago, we launched an experiment: using community donations to directly support the people who keep this project running. The idea was simple — compensate core contributors for the invisible but essential work of reviewing pull requests, triaging issues, and preparing releases.

Today, we're excited to share that the trial has been a success. 🎉

Thanks to your feedback, patience, and ongoing support, we've ironed out the kinks in the system, resolved bugs in the points tracking process, and proven that this model is both fair and sustainable.

As a result: we're making contributor payments permanent.

What This Means

Core contributors will continue to receive stipends based on their monthly contributions.
The transparent points system (for PR reviews, issue triage, and releases) remains in place.
Funding continues to come from our community donations on OpenCollective.

This ensures that the essential maintenance work — the work that enables everything else to happen — is recognized and supported long-term.

What's Next: Expanding the System

The initial trial was focused on core maintenance. Now that the foundation is solid, we're preparing to expand. Over the coming months, we plan to introduce:

Bug bounties → Rewards for fixing long-standing or high-impact issues.
Feature bounties → Incentives for implementing important improvements requested by the community.
Other initiatives → Ways to make contributing more rewarding and sustainable for everyone, not just core maintainers.

We'll share details about these expansions soon — so stay tuned!

Thank You ❤️

This project is powered by generosity, trust, and shared care. By supporting contributors financially, we're not just sustaining the software — we're sustaining the community behind it.

To everyone who has donated, given feedback, or contributed time and energy: thank you. This is your success as much as ours.

Proposal for spending community funds

Sun, 08 Jun 2025 16:00:00 GMT

Our open source community has reached an exciting point: thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors, we now have a steady flow of funds coming in. First of all — thank you.

This support allows us to make the project more sustainable for everyone involved. We want to start by addressing something that is often overlooked in open source: the invisible labor that keeps everything running.

We're proposing a 3-month trial program to pay our core maintainers for the essential (but often unglamorous) work of:

Reviewing pull requests
Triage and categorize GitHub issues
Preparing releases

We believe it's time to recognize the financial value of labor — but before we move forward, we want to hear your feedback. Join the conversation on Discord or leave anonymous feedback in this form.

Update: This proposal has been approved. More details about the payment system can be found in the paying contributors page.

What We're Proposing

Starting July 1st, we'd like to set aside $1,000 per month from the project's funds for a review stipend pool. This pool would be divided between core maintainers based on the work they do each month, measured via a transparent points system.

Points are assigned based on the size of PRs reviewed (using lines of code as a proxy for effort).
Additional points are awarded for labelling and grooming issues, closing duplicates, and managing releases.
The system has a cap, and in months with less activity, the payout is reduced to $500.
Payments are handled via OpenCollective and are only available to core maintainers.

This system is designed to be lightweight, fair, and easy to administer — and it keeps our monthly costs well within our donation income.

Why Start With Admin Work?

Before we consider feature bounties or bug bounties, we need to acknowledge the day-to-day labor that enables these contributions to be merged and released. Paying for features while leaving critical administrative work unpaid would be unsustainable — and unfair.

This trial serves as the foundation for broader funding efforts in the future. However, it begins with respecting the work that is already being done.

What We Need From You

We believe this is the right direction — but we won't go ahead without the community's support.

If you're for it, against it, or have suggestions — let us know.
If there's strong opposition, we won't implement it.
If the community supports it, we'll begin the trial in July.

Join the conversation on Discord or leave anonymous feedback in this form. We're listening — and we'll publish a summary of the feedback before moving forward.

What's Next?

We'll collect community feedback until late June.
If there's consensus, the 3-month trial begins July 1st.
After the trial, we'll evaluate how it went and where to go next.

Thank you again for being part of this journey. This community runs on trust, time, and care. With your feedback, we can keep building something that works — for all of us.
