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.
does it have dark mode
Dark Reader solves that problem
Yes
Actual doesn’t support multiple user accounts.
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: https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1cmfk8x/actualbudget_has_anyone_written_a_plaid_importer/
Oh, I need this thread. I’ve been all over the place ever since Mint shut down.
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.
hosting the db in a network storage? That’s self hosting with extra steps.
But i don’t have to run yet another service on my machine.
Then don’t. Use only when you need it, or use literally any other free offering there is. This is not for you.
Well yeah, assuming you can install it on all devices you would want to use, and that it lets you use network storage, and that the app doesn’t conflict with other apps using the same network storage. A lot of apps don’t have a specific app for Android, Apple, Linux, macos, and windows because that’s a lot to build and maintain. A deployed webapp works on any device with a browser, and you don’t need to configure every device to use the same networked storage.

Not nearly good enough to make me give up Quicken but it is nice to see some more self hosted options popping up.
What’s bucket budgeting?
Edit: [sigh] all I needed to do was search the term… sorry everyone
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
