• Ask HN: How do you manage your personal finances?

So I outgrew it quickly. Then I did it manually in Excel, and Later Moneydance that is really a great product. That said it didn't really work for me due to my undiagnosed ADHD brain.

• Tell HN: YNAB will partly remove direct bank imports

• Local-first software: You own your data, in spite of the cloud (2019)

  Looks visually quite similar to https://actualbudget.com/ (open-source, local-first). Did one influence the other? Are they both inspired by some other budget software? - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• What's your strategy for organizing money in your bank accounts?

  If you have the ability to selfhost, Actual budget has been my go to for budgeting. I just input bank transactions usually weekly and assign the transaction to it's appropriate category. Source: 11 months ago
