edit: demo is impressive enough, 20euro/month donation setup. Rock on folks, this is neat.
With Mint being deprecated, I’ve been looking for something to replace it. I know there are a number of paid alternatives, but it seems like they all are missing at least one or two things that I liked about Mint. Is there an OSS option that comes close? Seems like the biggest hurdle is finding one that is close to reliable when authenticating with other sites (and able to adapt to changes they make, 2FA, etc.). I gu…
Are there any good paid ones, even, for Canadian institutions specifically? We have 4 credit cards and two chequing accounts plus mortgage etc at different institutions. It would be worth some small amount of money for me, especially for a desktop not SaaS solution, to get a unified view I can categorize, filter, sort, graph, etc.

I have been using the self-hosted ActualBudget for ~6 months and found it mostly perfect. The mobile version of the site is not complete but it's at least usable for managing transactions. The only drawback is no user accounts, but you can have multiple budgets. I was originally on YNAB4, and then financier.io for ~2 years.
How do you get transactions into ActualBudget? Do you run a manual import job at a set cadence?
Personally, I add each transaction manually. It allows me to stay on top of my budget.

In the same boat. I did use GnuCash for business as well, in my opinion that's its primary use case. I just found Eqnomize and will give it a spin, however it's not open source (?). Other than that... Seriously considering dusting off my old tools and starting something myself :)

I wish I could get data about my transactions through an api from my bank
Firefly kinda worked around this. You can download all transactions of your bank as a CSV, then use the Firefly importer to automatically map the data and save it inside Firefly. I usually do this once a week and it works pretty quickly, maybe a minute of work.
I'm only using it for tracking, not budgeting, so I do it maybe every 1-2 months.

> If it's installed on the local, it's a waste of resources and development time Says you.
If it's installed on a local Web server it's designed to be able to serve multiple users. If there's only one user how is it not a waste of resources?
I'm sorry, but that just isn't how that works. It would be no more "wasteful" than running a native app. 1 user or 10, it doesn't matter.
Besides, most self-hosters have servers that are running many apps, so this is just one more. Not a big deal.

Sure, many people seem to be running their Web apps on the local Web servers because Web development is all they know, I'm just pointing out how it's less efficient that native apps.

How is this not more wasteful than running a native app? You have to run a Web server IN ADDITION to the app. And your client-side is rendered in the browser which, again, is IN ADDITION to the app. Where the native app is just... the app. Sure, many people seem to be running their Web apps on the local Web servers because Web development is all they know, I'm just pointing out how it's less efficient that native app…
