Selfhosted

I don't understand why isn't crypto banned yet.

Its a dumb drain on world resources and only facilitates of untraceable payments for drug sales and tax avoidance.

This won't help you, but I want to brag. I started using Quicken to track my finances at the turn of the century, back when it was all local storage. Quicken 2012 was the last iteration that used http (not https) to update stock prices. When they discontinued support, I captured the interaction and deciphered the formats. Wrote a proxy to intercept the request, look up the security info, and send back the data.

So, I self-host quicken.com. It's saved me having to update Quicken or submit to their subscription model.

Started using it close to twenty years ago and keep using it because it seems fine.

I host my own Monero node

I’m waiting for Actual to support multiple currencies. Until then, as an Apple user, I’m using iFinance which works on all my platforms.

I have Firefly III and am really quiet happy with it. I might write a companion program to scan bill though, since doing everything by hand is rather time consuming.

Since most budgeting tools I found didn't satisfy my need (no cloud, automatic categorization of transactions etc.) I tried to create my own tool to categorize my transactions using camt.053 and csv files which I downloaded from my banks. Got bugged down with the presentation via bokeh, so it was pretty crude.

I recently found beancount in combination with fava, which solved most of my problems I had with my own tool. And the good thing: I was able to re-use most of my 'auto-categorization' code with only small changes. Not sure how universal my importer is, but with a bit of python know-how it should be quite easy to create an importer for your specific bank export.

From my experience, the csvs I got from my bank was insufficient for automatic mapping, which is why I'm using camt.053 where possible. As the camt.053 is not very common in many countries you could go for OFX files.

I like Maybe Finance. Perhaps a bit basic but it does the trick for me. And the interface is quite nice too. No automation or bank imports though so it probably won't fit your purposes perfectly.

Id love to find a #creditunion that supported #openbanking and offered API access to my data so I could easily download it and use it with Actual or FireflyIII. I think working with a credit union to build this feature would be a great open source project.

Actual has been working fine for me. Supports all the family’s banks and credit cards I import manually.

Not selfhost but I use Hibiscus https://www.willuhn.de/products/hibiscus/

My bank does this for me, but I do like self hosting things. Where's the benefit in this apart from a fun project?

I use hledger mostly because of the plain text format. I came from YNAB as well but I just hated how you couldn't easily undo changes or see when you made a change, etc. This is so easily to track changes and you can add comments explaining your reasoning around things and you can keep everything in source control so you have all the power of that as well. Not for everyone but if you're a programmer or just comfortable on the command line it's great.

I use Actual. How it works is very similar to YNAB (you budget the money you currently have) but it's open source and privacy focused. I started using it a few months ago and I really like it so far!

Actual budget with simple fin for bank links. Currently hosted on pikapods, will move to self hosting on prem at some point.
