Actual Budget I use to track my finance.

Duplicacy for backups to OneDrive and Backblaze

Photoprism as Google replacement

Immich is also a great Google Photos alternative. Though it is in active development and things may break, I've been thoroughly impressed by it.

My problem with Actual Budget is it's only a singular currency. I deal with Euro, Dollar, Romanian Lei, British Pound. Having to manually convert each to Dollar, and then have a bit of discrepancy due to price fluctuations made it a no go for me. Have not found a good self hosted finance tracker that works for me yet.
At the moment I am unfortunately using a proprietary one called Cubux.

For what its worth, Firefly supports multiple currencies, hell I even see a few crypto currencies in the list haha.

This is cool as hell, thanks! This comment section is a treasure trove of useful tools.

Actual Budget looks really good. Does anyone know of something similar that can track investments?

Actual Budget looks fantastic. And they claim they'll implement direct import soon. I need a YNAB alternative

I've been hunting for a YNAB equivalent and alternative for years since they went subscription based. This looks to fill that hole.

Actual budget looks really nice. Until now I've just been using MoneyFox, but I'll definitely try out Actual budget

I used YNAB which worked great but I want to move as much as I can over to my own server. The development is going really fast at the moment.

Is it a YNAB replacement? It would be nice to drop that annual cost.

For me it is. YNAB is more finished but they are active developing it. I dropped YNAB.

Welp, I went down the wonderful hole of Actual today. Thank you for that!

Let’s see if it takes over from my xls. I’m liking it. It’s quick and I see lots of potential.

Yeah. My banks all work with direct import. Even banks that YNAB did not support.
