Offline Budgeting Apps: Privacy & Peace of Mind

Not every budgeting app needs your bank logins, your identity, or your soul. CapMyBeast is offline-first and runs locally in your browser.

What “Offline-First” Means

• The app loads and works without a network connection.
• Your data (cap, weekly spend, streak, beast choice) is saved to localStorage on your device.
• No account, no cloud sync, no tracking.

What We Store Locally

• weeklyCap: your weekly spending cap
• week-YYYY-WN: your spend for a given week
• streakCount: your under-cap streak
• beastId: your chosen companion

For details and FAQs, see the Offline-First FAQ.

Why This Matters

• Privacy: your data stays with you.
• Reliability: no internet? still works.
• Focus: no bank-linking setup — just budget behavior.
