Hi everyone!

I have been using Grisbi for at least 15 years now to get around personal finances/expense tracking.

It is a very basic tool that tracks expenses, clearances, etc… Nothing crazy but it helps a lot to follow your budget, keep things on track. Everything is backed up through a file that I sync with Nextcloud.

For some reasons, I won’t be able to use it as easily in the coming months (new restrictions on my work laptop) so I’m looking for a Web-based selfhost-friendly alternative. I’ve already narrowed it down to 3:

Firefly III which looks pretty nice (and PHP is kind of a plus in my case)
Actual Budget which looks pretty cool too
Kresus much more barebone but might get the job done eventually

Do you have some feedback on any of those applications? Do you know any other alternatives worth looking at? Have you had the same kind of experience going from Gnucash/Grisbi/other to Web-based app?

I am still bummed, that there is no easy way to pull the data from my bank automatically into these budgeting apps. They all rely on paid 3rd party tools for that and who knows what those do with my data

Actual let's you import downloaded statements in qfx or whatever format

That's how I used it anyway since I didn't want any third party I would just download a months worth of transactions and import them into actual then start setting up automatic tagging or manual if it's a one off transaction

Assuming US, Open Banking is on the horizon. Will likely still take a few years before it's fully implemented, but hopefully soon!

Unlikely at least in the near future. The remnants of Dodd-Frank and anything that Biden did are high on the list for Trump's chopping block.

I hadn't heard of this. Looks like we're finally getting some sort of standard API implemented. It's about time. No reason folks should have to use Plaid or other to link accounts or pull data easily.
