Why not Actual Budget, which is also self-hosted, open-source bucket budgeting based off YNAB, however it appears to be a lot more mature.

They also transparently run the project on Open Collective which I like: https://opencollective.com/actual

This is exactly the thing I've been looking for. It saves everything as a sqlite db, and has csv export options. So you're not fucked over if you need to switch to something else. It's compatible for linux/windows.

And the import options seem pretty good too.

Congrats, you've made me spend the whole day switching everything over to that lol.

The only real issue is that one of my banks deals with more than one type of currency. So I've had to write a custom script to handle that. But all in all, this is a massive upgrade for me. Thank you for this recommendation.

Ooh, this looks great... thanks for sharing! Maybe it will finally rip my excel spreadsheets from out of my hands 😂

Net worth and investment tracking goes in my spreadsheets, budgeting in Actual Budget.

It’s good to have other options. I wish the best to the project. I started using Actual yesterday. It’s amazing . It feels good not having to forcibly pay and have a good product community driven.

Thx a lot, was looking for a replacement for YNAB4 and this looks great!

Or, https://www.firefly-iii.org/, a full self-hosted system similar to Mint.

Actual doesn't support multiple user accounts.

Dark Reader solves that problem

[–] TheLugal@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'll check it out! I have been using Firefly III.

I think it's good there are several projects that try to solve similar problems. It makes for such a diverse solution pool.

Do you know any that connect to Plaid to get transaction data from my banks?

[–] recklessengagement@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Oh, I need this thread. I've been all over the place ever since Mint shut down.

What's bucket budgeting?

Edit: [sigh] all I needed to do was search the term... sorry everyone

[–] fl42v@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Probably some scientific theory on not letting s3 buckets eat all your money /jk

Ha! As far as theories go, this one will remain just a theory hahaha

Not nearly good enough to make me give up Quicken but it is nice to see some more self hosted options popping up.
