GNU Taler is an example of the third possibility. If Bitcoin is "digital gold," Taler is digital banknotes. Source: over 1 year ago

You should check out GNU Taler[1]. Literally attempting to solve this problem. [1]: https://taler.net/en/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Beyond 2FA, some type of chaumian cash like https://taler.net/en/ might help too. But the problem is really downgrade attacks.

I use Actual budget. It’s open source, free, but you’ll have to figure out hosting. Bank sync is currently provided in North America by SimpleFin ($15/year) And in Europe by GoCardless I host mine in a Docker container on my NAS.

If you are tech-savvy then maybe https://actualbudget.com/ - similar to YNAB, but free & open-source. Source: 5 months ago

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

I use https://actualbudget.com/ locally. You have to import your transactions yourself and it's all local. Source: 10 months ago

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
