Foss finance tracker - Feddit.it

What app/software do you use to track your finances? I currently use money wallet from f-droid (https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.oriondev.moneywallet/ [https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.oriondev.moneywallet/]) but it’s no longer mantained (4 years) and I think it’s time to switch. Thanks! Edit: I found 2 interesting apps on fdroid. Sossoldi (https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.ripster.sossoldi/ [https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.ripster.sossoldi/]) and Oinkoin (https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.emavgl.piggybankpro/ [https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.emavgl.piggybankpro/]). In both you can import and export your transaction in a csv file.

I use Eqonomize. It’s simple and works well for my purposes.

It’s possible to get bank sync working too! Likely depends on your country though

That sounda cool. There was a time when you could connect your bank account to it.

Unfortunately it doesn’t work in eurooe anymore

Client Version 23.7.0 and

Gocardless deprecated its consumer api. Now only paying companies can use their banking api.

I am using lunchflow for this. It is paid but they have a nice import script for actual.

Wow it seems cool. I probably would have paid for it if it would have supported Turkey credit cards sadly in Turkey open banking is pretty bad and doesn’t include credit cards so manual entry for me. At least i have more granularity with manual entry for categories tho

Ivy Wallet. While it is unmaintained as of recently, it is pretty much feature-complete and I really like its UI.

Bold of you to assume I have finances that are even worth tracking 😉

I use a spreadsheet on the computer. Not elegant, and not convenient, but tailored to what I want. I manually put it income and expense, and have a separate page for the recurring stuff.

Tip for anyone who does similar, for recurring items (budget or bills), give each month (or whatever your budget period is) it’s own column. That way if something’s price changes mid-year, or changes each month (credit cards) it doesn’t mess with the totals for the previous months. It also allows for more periodic stuff to fit in the same sheet, just put 0 for the months its not due.

actualbudget.org is excellent!

Your Finances — made simple | Actual Budget

Actual Budget is a super fast and privacy-focused app for managing your finances. At its heart is the well proven and much loved Envelope Budgeting methodology.

I’ll second actual budget!

It’s like Mint with no ads and data privacy. There are other budgeting tools that can be better, but if you’re just after tracking and less about expense planning, this works well. Also compares well to YNAB with similar configuration options there if you go that route.

I’ve been using this for a while now, and can also vouch for it.

I made a small python script that takes CSV files and digests them for actual, and then actual does its thing and converts them into an sqlite database stored locally within my encrypted home directory.

It’s amazing.

My Expenses is what I used. Before that it was an excel sheet! Simple, allow to reconcile with bank.

Back then no other app allowed that. All seemed to want to show you dashboard. Nice but IMHO the basics : adding transactions and reconcile them should be nailed.
But I am curious about others suggestions if there is any better one!

One thing I’d like an app to have (on Android) is being able to input planned expenses (which will be auto created when month begin) where I can see for an expense all planned expenses for current year in a column and in another column last year or current year with real expenses.

I do plain text accounting with ledger-cli. Nice and future-proof, and I can easily build stuff on top of it. Other examples are plain text accounting software is hledger and beancounter, the latter which is known to have a pretty good Python-ecosystem surrounding it.

I tried moneymanagerex.org which can sync data between mobile and PC.

It did look in an earlier stage when I tried it last time but had a lot of further development since.
