budgetzero VS financier

Budgetzero (https://github.com/budgetzero/budgetzero) is a close option but still under development so offers no promises on stability.

This may interest you possibly. It's still under development (what in linux isnt really...).

One cool one I see in the comments from that thread is here: https://github.com/budgetzero/budgetzero

budgetzero.io (similar to financier.io) budgetzero - its free, open source, and can be self hosted in docker. demo github

There's Budget Zero aiming to do exactly that!

Improved Install/Setup Instructions

If you ever do switch from YNAB and want to code your own* then you should look at work already done in the space. budgetzero was posted recently on /r/selfhosted and may be worth checking out.

I have used financier.io for years and love it—especially the fact that I can have multiple budgets (one budget for all of my personal accounts, and a separate budget for those accounts I share with my partner). But as our financial lives get more and more complicated, it becomes more and more of a hassle to manually enter every transaction, so I am considering a switch to a budget app that will connect with my bank accounts and pull my transactions.

Also not the person you asked. I use Financier, which is much like YNAB, but with fewer bells and whistles and MUCH cheaper ($15/year vs. $99, both $USD). The biggest difference is that Financier won't link to your bank accounts, but I find that manual entry works better for us anyway.

If you like YNAB4 but want a web version financier.io is a good alternative. it can even import your YNAB4 data. But after that, new transaction do need to be added manually, there's no importing (even by like csv files or whatever).

I've been really happy with CouchDB + PouchDB at https://financier.io

You can do unique things like offer a trial period without syncing (database wholly in browser), which allows for ridiculously quick onboarding.

And the sync mechanism works so well. It's really cool how easy it is to implement a Google Docs-like sync mechanism with conflict resolution baked in.

So you recreated https://financier.io/ ?

If you've got the method down, check out financier.io where it's basically a free YNAB clone.

The price has really gone up, but financier.io has the same thing but free...
