Deploy Thrifty on your own server.

Thrifty is a simple self-hosted budgeting and expense tracker for households. Track spending across multiple users without accounts or passwords — the app itself has no login system of any kind, so this template puts a Caddy proxy in front of the UI and API and protects it with HTTP Basic Auth instead.

Why Thrifty

Everything you need, running where you choose.

Get the full Thrifty experience with Easypanel handling the repetitive infrastructure work around it.

Multi-User Support

Track expenses per household member while keeping everything in one shared budget.

Configurable Currency

Display amounts in your household's own currency.

Swagger API Docs

The API ships with interactive Swagger documentation at /swagger/index.html for anyone who wants to script against it.

No Accounts, No Passwords

Add household members as simple named users with no login of their own, so tracking shared spending doesn't mean managing credentials for everyone.

Lightweight, No External Database

Runs on SQLite with nothing else to provision, so it stays cheap to host for a household budget tracker.

Multi-User Household Tracking

See who spent what across the household in one shared view instead of juggling separate spreadsheets.

How it works

From template to live app in three steps.

Easypanel turns the template into real services, storage, and domains on the server you already control.

Installation options

The template asks for these values before creating your services.

Option	Default	Required
App Service Name	thrifty	Required
UI Service Image	tiehfood/thrifty-ui:1.12.1	Required
API Service Image	tiehfood/thrifty-api:1.12.1	Required
Currency	Euro / US Dollar / British Pound / Canadian Dollar / Australian Dollar	Required

Before you deploy

Open the app URL and sign in with the HTTP Basic Auth prompt using username admin and the auto-generated password shown as the proxy service's basic auth entry in Easypanel. A Caddy proxy sits in front of the UI and API and is the only service with a public domain, so the API is never reachable without those credentials.
