Mint is probably the largest budget app out there and they just announced that they will be going away at the end of this year. Many of us have years of data in Mint that we are about to lose.
Experience has taught me to avoid depending on third party services for something I could self-host.
What selfhosted app do you recommend for budget?
I don't have a replacement yet, but I plan to look at Firefly III.
Firefly is great, and I’m still on an older version that just works. Takes some effort to get imports auto classified, but once you do it’s stupid fast to categorize your spending and see trends.
My wife loooooves when I spend my evening going through my latest batch of unclassified firefly transactions. But the perfect pie chart is worth it.
I use firefly for spending categorization. I haven't gotten into any of the budgeting stuff.
IMO the biggest drop off from mint is the lack of automated synchronizing of account transactions. I'm currently just dumping transaction csv's monthly and importing then, which is easy enough.
