Fava VS data-importer

I’ve been using beancount for almost 1.5 years now, and other than having to explicitly open accounts I love it! I use the fava UI to have all the nice modern visuals: https://beancount.github.io/fava/

I used Beancount + Fava for a web UI for years. It stores everything in plaintext files, but the downside is you either have to manually enter everything or probably write a script to import csv/qfx from your bank(s).

I suggest you take a look at fava. I don't think its data entry is good for you but the data visualization is pretty great.

And the following are interfaces of Beancount: Fava, a well-known UI

If you’re tech savvy, you could try beancount + fava web interface. https://beancount.github.io/fava/

I use Beancount myself (heavily supported by custom scripts). Plain text accounting options are not very user-friendly out of the box in my opinion. Beancount has a self-hosted web app called Fava that's good if you want a GUI. I believe there is something similar for ledger.

RTFM https://docs.firefly-iii.org/data-importer/

theres some third parties that give you an API directly I believe. Firefly III lists salt edge and nordigen.

Firefly III is missing plenty of features (see below). I started Firefly III with a single user (me) and everything else is a bonus.

I will admit that I caved under pressure and built the Firefly III Data Importer:

https://github.com/firefly-iii/data-importer

It can connect to your bank via Salt Edge if it is supported. Here is the documentation on the data importer - https://docs.firefly-iii.org/data-importer/

for auto-sync you need https://docs.firefly-iii.org/data-importer with API from Salt Edge or Nordingen.

You can easily import data into Firefly III using their data importer[0] and Nordigen API or Spectre (usage is explained in [0]). Doing so automatically is just a matter of running a cron job
