  3. Firefly III

    Firefly III: a personal finances manager

    I use Firefly III (https://github.com/firefly-iii/firefly-iii) and I’m happy with it. You can try it in his demo site.

  4. docker-budge

    linuxserver has a beta version of a budget app called budge. https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-budge

  5. grist-core

    Grist is the evolution of spreadsheets.

    I used to use FireflyIII as well and found the flexibility to be lacking just as you did. I've just started using Grist, although there is nocodb and baserow. Yes it's more spreadsheet like and sometimes more "hacky" but there will never be an out-of-the-box application that comes close to what, ostensibly, a spreadsheet like application is good at.

  6. xmysql

    xmysql is now https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb

  7. Baserow

    Open source no-code database and Airtable alternative. Create your own online database without technical experience. Performant with high volumes of data, can be self hosted and supports plugins (by bramw)
