  • actual

  • beancount

    Beancount: Double-Entry Accounting from Text Files.

  • 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).

  • plaintextaccounting

    The plaintextaccounting.org website, a portal to Ledger, hledger, beancount and co. Also the PTA wiki.

  • It might end up being too much work, but check out some of the tools on https://plaintextaccounting.org/ too.

  • Fava

    Fava - web interface for Beancount

  • 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).

  • OpenBudgeteer

    OpenBudgeteer is a budgeting app based on the Bucket Budgeting Principle

  • I just share also my finance app OpenBudgeteer that I'm developing but not sure if it matches your requirements.

  • piglet

    Simple Webapp to manage and administrate budgets in a household

  • Try piglet. Its maintained by me and I published it a few days ago. I had the same use case as you have. It‘s new and pretty simple. Just look at https://github.com/k3nd0x/piglet

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
