Buddi is a nice little program that helps you managing your personal budget, by defining categories, assigning a budget to them, etc. I’m quite bad at this kind of things, and after two months using Buddi I know how much I expend on things, and how much can I save each month. I love it.

One of my favorite features of Buddi is that it has an API that allows you to develop new reports, so I’ve developed mine. I have all my categories in groups (bills: electricity, water, telephone; home: food, drugstore, others; you get the picture), but all the reports in Buddi show all categories in a flat list without grouping them by parent category. This plugin does just that: all sub-categories are shown right under the parent one, and all of their budgets and expenses are added to those of the parent category, so that you can easily and quickly know how much you expend on each group.
