  • Firefly III

    Firefly III: a personal finances manager

  • The usual /r/selfhosted answer is https://github.com/firefly-iii/firefly-iii

  • There is already a Plaid Connector but would benefit from independent reviewers and contributors.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • application

    Buckets Desktop Application (by buckets)

  • If you don't need it to be online I have used https://www.budgetwithbuckets.com/ for the last year or two with good results. Personally I really prefer the buy once and run local approach.

  • hledger

    Robust, fast, intuitive plain text accounting tool with CLI, TUI and web interfaces.

  • After that, I switched to hledger, which I'll admit is very much not YNAB-like, but it is super flexible and I ended up hacking my own YNAB-inspired budgeting setup onto it. It's probably not a great alternative for 99.9% of YNAB users, but if you're handy with scripting and open to trying something different, I think it's pretty sweet.

  • financial-freedom

    🔥🔥🔥 An open source alternative to Mint, YNAB, and more. Stay on budget and build wealth without sacrificing your privacy.

  • I'm currently working on: https://github.com/serversideup/financial-freedom. It's gotten a lot better since the last time I posted it. Will be 100% self hosted, ability to import from CSV or Plaid. Wanted to open source it so we can build some amazing tools.

  • budgery

    A zero-budget finance tracking tool

  • Just found this one also: https://github.com/EliRibble/budgery

  • budgetzero

    Open-source, self-hosted, zero-based budgeting.

  • 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.
