This is basically the main reason why I built uFincs ( https://ufincs.com/ ) without any sort of bank integration. As a Canadian myself, the privacy implications of letting a third…

I built uFincs ( https://ufincs.com ) basically because I got fed up with GnuCash's UX. It only supports importing CSVs right now, but I'm open to adding other formats. It's also a…

Thanks, glad to hear you enjoyed it!

Thank you!

Yep, that's basically how it's said.

Oh I'm well aware of the disconnect. I just disagree that there are only people who care about privacy to the degree that they have to self-host everything. I believe there's room …

Firefly III ( https://www.firefly-iii.org/ ) in particular is a pretty good self-hosted solution.

I totally understand that. And I knew, when making the decision to not do any integrations, that there's a ton of people just like you that value automating everything as much as p…

The marketing site ( https://ufincs.com ) uses React + NextJS + Tailwind. The app itself ( https://app.ufincs.com ) uses a design system that I built completely custom (with plain …

I can definitely see where you're coming from regarding the whole syncing thing. Personally, I've gotten into a habit of recording my transactions right after they happen (or at wo…

Yeah, deciding to go straight-shooter with some of copy was definitely a risk, but thanks for letting me know that you appreciate it :) And yeah, the pricing section could definite…

Privacy in the sense that, while the bank may own your data already, third-parties like Plaid do not. And at least up in here Canada, we're a bit weaker on the whole 'bank API' sys…

Yep, I agree. If you want perfect security and a 100% trust-less solution, then uFincs certainly isn't it. But I like to think that, at least when put in contrast with other produc…

Thanks for the feedback on the UI! Definitely put some time into trying to get that right. And yep, we have plans for dedicated mobile/desktop apps for sometime this year. Android …

Absolutely none at all! uFincs is all about manual entry (although CSV import + recurring transactions makes things a bit easier). I made a deliberate choice to not support any ban…

Thanks! The app itself is all React + Redux + TypeScript. Backend API is Node + Feathers + TypeScript. So certainly nothing fancy.

Hey HN! I'm excited to (officially) show off the project I've been working on (for far too long): uFincs, a privacy-first personal finance app! https://ufincs.com Yes, it's another…

The 'error', as you put it, is that the password change process (i.e. the changing of the KEK and the re-encryption of the DEK into the EDEK) all happens client-side (except for th…

Hmm, that's a good question to add to the Security doc! Not quite. See, we make use of a scheme called envelope encryption. That means we have two separate keys: one to encrypt you…

Yep, I agree, it's a pretty big upcharge. That's precisely why our 'free tier' is the 'no account' option ( https://ufincs.com/noaccount ). I'm not kidding when I say it's the full…

As I replied down below ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26972907 ), I don't have any concrete plans to open-source it at the moment . However, I know this is a pretty big st…

It definitely isn't. At least, not yet. I've been thinking through different ways we could handle that aspect, but I don't have any concrete plans to open-source uFincs at the mome…
