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.
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.
does it have dark mode
