Your financial data, handled the way you'd want your own handled.
BucketBooks is a hosted product you sign up for. Under the hood, it's built so your books stay isolated, encrypted, and — above all — yours.
The essentials, plainly
Per-account data isolation
Each customer's books live in their own separate database — not shared tables with a tenant column. Your data doesn't sit next to anyone else's.
AES-256-GCM encryption at rest
Sensitive data is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. The keys that protect your bank connection are kept apart from the data they unlock.
Read-only bank connections via Plaid
Bank links go through Plaid and are read-only — BucketBooks reads transactions to build your books, and cannot move money.
Stripe for payments
Subscriptions are billed through Stripe. Your card details go to Stripe, not to us — BucketBooks never sees or stores your card number.
You own your books
One-click full export — a SQLite file plus CSVs — any time, on any plan. It keeps working even if your subscription lapses. No hostage, ever.
A local / self-host option
Teams that want their data on their own machine can run BucketBooks locally. The hosted product is the easy default; the local option is there when you need it.
AI with guardrails
AI labels and explains; you approve. BucketBooks code does every calculation. AI can propose, never post — and switching AI Assist off leaves the rules-only product fully functional.
Our posture on the things that matter
- No hostage. Cancellation and export are as prominent and easy as signing up. Leaving is never harder than joining.
- We don't overstate. We only describe protections we actually have. We don't claim compliance badges or certifications we haven't earned.
- Books, not tax advice. BucketBooks organizes your data for filing. It doesn't compute taxes, tell you what you owe, or give tax advice.
Books you can trust — and take with you.
30-day free trial · no credit card. Export your books anytime, even after you cancel.
