Actual Budget went open-source a while back! It’s self-hostable and fantastic alternative to YNAB. YNAB’s budgeting philosophy has garnered a bit of a cult following, and I highly recommend their budget method (which is a mix of envelope and zero-based budgeting, iirc). Actual Budget is built to mimic YNAB, so it’s perfect. There’s a community of contributors adding features. There’s an option to encrypt your budget, so that whatever server you host it on cannot see it. I highly recommend this app.
Another up-and-coming alternative to YNAB is Budget with Buckets, which is not free. But does have an unlimited free trial lol, and a good privacy policy. It’s still developing though, but it is good!
Thanks. I checked it out but it's currently web only . I can't find any android version for it.
And with the latest update, adding transactions via mobile in Actual has been added, too :)
Can you share the download link because I can't seem to find it anywhere?
You'll need to set it up locally and can then access it via browser (since it has a mobile view). There's no more mobile apps since they went open source, as it's just too difficult to maintain them. To get you started, check out https://actualbudget.org/docs/install/ :)
Thanks.
