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.

Imagine being stuck with only one option and then those developers do something you dislike and you can’t switch 🤷
Do you know any that connect to Plaid to get transaction data from my banks?
They recommend SimpleFIN instead of Plaid: old.reddit.com/…/actualbudget_has_anyone_written_…
Why self host a web app that could have easily just been a regular progam.
Control over your own data (if you mean regular program as cloud apps), or accessible on multiple devices and to different users if you mean an offline computer app
Different devices can be done with any program by putting the files on network storage.
Probably some scientific theory on not letting s3 buckets eat all your money /jk
Oh, I need this thread. I’ve been all over the place ever since Mint shut down.
What’s bucket budgeting?

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.

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

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.
And the import options seem pretty good too.
Congrats, you’ve made me spend the whole day switching everything over to that lol.

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.

I started using Actual yesterday. It’s amazing . It feels good not having to forcibly pay shit and have a good product community driven.

I’m guessing because this one is open. There are very few self hosted budgeting tools, and a lot of desktop ones. If I’m going through the trouble of self hosting one, it better be open source. I don’t want to get stuck with all my financial data in an app I don’t want to pay anymore or worse, goes out of business.
If the open self hosted app doesn’t suit me, there’s GnuCash. A bit of a learning curve and less sexy, but it’s solid and got my finances stable through college.

You’re replying to my comment about Actual Budget, the very open source budgeting solution?

While it used to be closed source the maintainer a couple years back decided to not make it a job, and open sourced, took down the hosted option, and nowaintains it as a side project open sourced.

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