Want to get off of #Quicken or some other commercial #financial #bedgeting application? I've just found one that is amazing: Actual Budget. It's very similar to Quicken (although it's a bit different, from what I've heard), it's local-first, has an integrated sync server, is secure, integrated accounts download via one of four services (based on your region)***, excellent reporting, handles budgeting, and more...

Honestly, I've used GnuCash in the past, and it was such a pain I'd given up on it.  But Actual Budget I've managed to set up, get most of my accounts to download automatically (I have eight accounts to manage - only one I have to do manually), and started reconciling transactions.

I managed all of this in about two hours.

Oh, and the final, best part of this: Actual Budget is Open Source under an MIT License.

*** The sync service may have charges. Here in the U.S. it's $15/yr. Given the number of transactions I have to deal with, this is a pittance...
