FOSS/self hosted preferred, but open to anything!

    The easy to deploy with pikapods seems tempting and really cheap. I may try it

    I moved to doing it on my own on Google Sheets (with the envelope system and all) because as convenient as Actual Budget was at the time* I found it lacking in graphs and reports, which I find more important. My Google Sheet, though has more upkeep, I can query and make almost any kind of report or graph I need.

    What’s the reporting/graphs like now?


    *I even paid for a few months to trial it and I think the mobile app as well… I think. I remember entering something on my phone with Actual Budget

      They’ve simplified the use of it in a way. Effectively just a website but reactive so access on a phone is simplified.

      On the graphs and reports. There’s been a lot of work in the last two months, there was a limiting factor in the original choice in graphing library, but I’ve seen a Sankey graph, which seemed interesting. But more importantly there is a “custom reporting” which will probably not be as flexible as hand rolling your own Google sheet, but does give you a lot of control.

      You can test out the demo budget :https://demo.actualbudget.org

      And if you go into settings >advanced> experimental features, you can enable the in progress custom reports…

        oooh okay. That is much better than before from what I’ve tried. And a bunch more graphs. I made it crash though by selecting it. And I do miss the interface and just the ease of things. Thanks gonna try it out when I can.
