I am surprised that no one mentions this.

Firefly III this is an amazing financial tracking and budgeting tool that literally saves me so much time and money, I even donate monthly since it's so good and essential to me that I think it's only fair that the developer gets something back.

for those of us who aren't very savvy... is there a way i can use it like a normal app on windows or do i have to be a tech genius? the "getting started" section on github lists a bunch of words that are gibberish to me.

What @[email protected] said below, but instead I'd recommend You Need A Budget (YNAB). YNAB is amazing, and despite not liking paying for subscription services, I keep using it and not getting firefly (and I do self host my own things). It's like $100 a year and will save you far more than that if you use it correctly. Check them out: http://www.youneedabudget.com

Make sure to read their intro stuff on why they recommend doing things the way they do, as active budgeting isn't for everyone.

YNAB is a life changer. If you buy into the way they orient budgeting, its amazing. I think their envelope style budgeting is the easiest way ive budgeted before, but i know its not for everyone.
