• Google begins enforcement of site reputation abuse policy

  I dunno. I switched over to https://lunchmoney.app/. But it was so frustrating wading through all the bad search results to find it. - Source: Hacker News / about 21 hours ago

• Ask HN: Alternative to Mint.com?

  > A while back there was a tread in here where someone had an inexpensive one-time license mac software, but I cannot find it. I think you are looking for https://www.banktivity.com/ It feels a lot like Quicken which isn't a paradigm that works well for my brain and I moved to https://lunchmoney.app + a small app that consumes the API, does some transformations and exposes to Google Sheets' =IMPORTDATA formula.... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Ask HN: Alternative to Mint.com?

  In past Ask HN threads I've seen recommendations for Lunch Money (https://lunchmoney.app/) and You Need A Budget (https://www.ynab.com/). I can't personally speak to them as I use GnuCash, but I don't recommend it for you because it does not do automatic sync as you requested. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Americans are spending billions on stuff they forget to cancel

  I would suggest something like [LunchMoney](https://lunchmoney.app/) instead. Built in budgeting, rules to classify payments, and recurring subscriptions are automatically found and called out.

• Ask HN: How do you manage your finances?

  Lunch Money is a beautiful little independent app for personal finances: https://lunchmoney.app/ Won't do lots of complex stuff like investment strategy and estate planning, but covers all the essentials for a personal / family budget.

Firefly III mentions (6)

• Looking for an app to track my finances that can automatically connect with my banking accounts. Any tips?

  Firefly is open source and free: https://firefly-iii.org. Source: over 2 years ago

• YNAB is Costly and Mint gives your data away.. Any alternatives that allow me to upload transactions (don't need sync), and auto categorize my transactions?

  I also use Firefly (https://firefly-iii.org). If you're comfortable self-hosting, it's a nice option. There are importer tools for things like YNAB or CSV files from your bank. Source: over 2 years ago

• Budgeting Software for multiple currencies?

  I use Firefly III but it's self-hosted. It does support multiple currencies though. Source: over 2 years ago

• Cheaper YNAB alternative?

  If you're tech savvy, I would recommend locally hosted Firefly III with parsers of PDF bank statements (it's Canada, most banks can't even properly export CSV with all transactions...) Https://firefly-iii.org/. Source: over 2 years ago

• Ideas - no promises. What service do you wish was hosted on alltheviruses.com? Wanting to give back to the community, and couldn't help but buy a funny domain.

  A https://firefly-iii.org self-budget instance treated like an ARG where community members post fictitious monetary tasks for wins and losses. Each account would be a player and after x amount of time, whoever has the highest amount of money in their account wins. Tasks can be posted on some kind of self-hosted Kanban board (haven’t tried any yet) or on a Wiki page. Source: almost 3 years ago
