Local desktop version
Create a local desktop version of FreeBudget. Feature purposes: The user's data is stored only on their own device, for maximum security. (Syncing optional) Exposure of database (as SQL or files) enables advanced scripting, editing, and integration with other workflows. Possible technical challenges: If database backend is tabular, separating out a single user. Making API endpoints for backend services (such as Stripe). Implementing updates (optional but convenient). Related ticket(s): https://freebudget.featurebase.app/p/installable-app-experience

Budget Wins & Streaks
Add progress tracking to FreeBudget with streaks and milestone badges that recognize consistent budgeting activity. Users could earn badges for actions like importing transactions, reviewing spending, staying under budget, categorizing transactions, or completing a month of budgeting. The goal is to make progress more visible, encourage consistency, and give users small wins as they build better money habits.

Custom Category & Account Sorting
Add the ability to manually rearrange the order of categories and accounts instead of only sorting them alphabetically or by default order. This would allow users to organize their FreeBudget setup in the way that makes the most sense to them. For example, users could place their most-used categories or accounts at the top, group related accounts together, organize categories around their personal budgeting workflow, or control how items appear in the Dashboard, Reports, and Budget tabs.

Category Groups for Reports
Add the ability to organize categories into higher-level groups, such as Housing, Utilities, Transportation, Health & Fitness, etc., and display those groupings in reports. Currently, reports show categories in a flat list. This feature would allow users to create or assign categories to groups so the income and expense report can be viewed in a more organized, management-report style format, while still keeping the default experience simple for users who do not need grouping.
