ynab-downgrade VS financier

Used this script to split my exported transactions into multiple files, each file containing transactions for a single account.

Not tried this myself, but worth a shot: https://github.com/rixx/ynab-downgrade

Some preliminary notes: The scripts mentioned below plus an up-to-date version of this post lives here on GitHub – feel free to contribute there. I'll update this post for a while if I remember, but the canoncial version is over there.

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...
