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.
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.
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.
Oh, you edited your link from https://actualbudget.com/ to their GitHub, huh? You cheating cheater who cheats. I would track down the log on lemmy but you ain’t worth the effort.
I highlighted two links in the image and you asked me to click either of those. In no point in your linked message you said you edited your original message. I’m done with you, you can’t operate under honest discourse.
I did look in the link you provided earlier and all I saw was pricing and features. Nothing wrong with an open project selling services, of course. But can you really blame me?
Originally the project was a closed source budgeting app to compete against YNAB on privacy and cost but the developer got overwhelmed and decided to open source the project.
I can’t remember all the details why the project doesn’t have access to the .com domain still, but you can use the .org site to see the details/source code. (You can also see the .com address hasn’t been updated, and still has the original 2020 copyright date)
Regardless, this is a thread about self-hosted open-source budgeting, which is why I linked to Actual Budget. I have updated the first post to be the Github link instead to prevent confusion.
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.
