Slightly off topic but how do people use these? Depending on where/what I pay, I pay with an assortment of credit cards, bank account, debit cards, paypal, etc. Do people who use this kind of software manually enter every transaction they do every day, or something?
Awesome! I've been using Beancount/Fava for over 2 years now and this looks really slick. One thing off the bat I noticed, it doesn't look like custom Tags are supported? I use tags all the time in beancount, say to filter for a trip #trip-europe-2022 which would break down my cash flow and balances (and the rest of the fava UI) for a subset of transactions.
Not as of now, Tags are used only for recurring transactions as of now. I first need to figure out how to bring the filter into the UI. Everything now works based on Account names only.

But to your point, it’s still a lot of customization and manual work, I never keep up with it for more than a month or two
How does this differentiate?

> Do people who use this kind of software manually enter every transaction they do every day, or something? Yes, exactly that. You can do automatic imports of your bank statements but that's arguably more hassle. It takes 10 minutes at the end of my day to record all my transactions and it gives me a complete understanding of where my money is going.
For longer term accounts like my 401k, IRAs, and brokerage accounts, I track money going in our out but only update the gains/losses every 6 months or annually on Dec 31st.

This way, I would log every transaction immediately rather than wait until I get home.

But for a few months now I've been thinking an OSS service that does this might be great for such OSS projects. Maybe I'll eventually start it.
