• 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 2 months 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 / 5 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/).

• 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.

• Double-Entry Bookkeeping as a Directed Graph

  I'm surprised that there is no mentions of a great hacker-friendly plain-text accounting software called `ledger` https://ledger-cli.org/ in this thread.

• Ledger

  I've been using hledger[1] - similar tool but has more features like balance sheet, income statement generation with a plain text file for the last 3 years and it's been working out great. Before that I used iBank (rebranded as Banktivity) and don't miss it at all. [1] - https://hledger.org. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
