Roughly $1M of development work, open-sourced: Maybe Finance began as a $249/year commercial personal finance product before the company released it all. It aggregates bank accounts, credit cards, loans, investments, crypto, and real estate into a single net worth dashboard with historical trend charts - replacing the spreadsheet that usually glues a whole portfolio together. Transactions are categorized and tagged with rules, with merchant tracking and search across imported or synced activity; budgets track spending by category against plan; and the investment view follows holdings, cost basis, and returns across brokerage accounts. Multi-currency support converts accounts held in different currencies into a single reporting currency, bank synchronization works through Plaid where supported, and manual CSV import covers any institution. An optional AI assistant answers questions grounded in your own financial data. Because the app was built as a paid product with professional design before being open-sourced, its interface quality exceeds most community finance tools - and self-hosting means your balances and transactions are not monetized by a free app or gated behind an annual subscription. The stack is Ruby on Rails with Hotwire on PostgreSQL, licensed AGPL-3.0 and deployed via Docker. The original repository is archived; development continues in the community fork Sure, compatible with the same self-hosted setup.

Every unit of income gets a job in Actual Budget - a local-first personal finance app built on envelope (zero-sum) budgeting, where you can only budget cash you actually have, which keeps the plan honest by construction. The data model is a SQLite file that lives on your device and works fully offline; the self-hosted Node.js sync server adds background multi-device synchronization using CRDT-based distributed-systems machinery, browser and mobile access as an installable web app, and automated backups. Optional end-to-end encryption makes the synced data unreadable even to the server hosting it. Transactions enter three ways: manual entry, file import (CSV, QIF, OFX, QFX, CAMT.053), or automatic bank syncing through GoCardless for EU/UK banks and SimpleFIN for US/Canada. Built-in YNAB4 and nYNAB importers migrate complete budget histories, and reports, schedules for recurring transactions, and rule-based transaction cleanup handle the day-to-day. A fully featured local API lets developers script custom importers and automation against their own data. 100% free, open source, and 26k stars strong.

With over 24,000 GitHub stars and active development since 2014, Firefly III is the self-hosted personal finance manager that gives you complete control over your financial data without ever contacting external servers. The double-entry bookkeeping system tracks every transaction with source and destination accounts, ensuring accurate balance calculations and audit trails across checking, savings, credit card, cash, and asset accounts. Budget management sets monthly spending limits by category with visual progress tracking and rollover support for unused allocations. Rule-based transaction automation applies categorization, tags, and budget assignments automatically based on configurable conditions matching description, amount, source, and destination patterns. Recurring transactions schedule regular bills, subscriptions, and income entries with automatic creation on configured dates. Piggy banks divide savings accounts into virtual sub-accounts for goal tracking with target amounts and deadlines. Financial reports include income versus expense summaries, budget performance charts, category breakdowns, tag reports, and net worth tracking with weekly, monthly, and yearly time ranges. Multi-currency support handles any currency with configurable exchange rates for international finance tracking. The REST JSON API covers nearly every feature for integration with external tools, import utilities, and the companion Firefly III Data Importer for bank statement processing. Two-factor authentication provides account security. Self-hosting deploys via Docker containers or directly on PHP 8.5+ with MySQL or PostgreSQL. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Allocating every incoming dollar into purposeful spending and savings buckets before transactions occur, OpenBudgeteer gives households complete financial control through a self-hosted zero-based envelope budgeting platform. Users can organize expenditures into customizable bucket hierarchies, grouping everyday living costs, debt repayments, and sinking funds into distinct categories with target balances. Financial planners can import bank statement files via flexible CSV mapping profiles that parse transaction descriptions, clean up merchant strings, and auto-assign records to corresponding expense buckets. The transaction registry provides split-transaction functionality, allowing shoppers to divide a single department store receipt across grocery, household, and clothing envelopes with exact currency precision. Interactive progress bars display bucket health throughout the billing month, signaling when spending velocity threatens allocated limits and calculating suggested contributions for forthcoming paychecks. Advanced forecasting reports plot multi-month net worth trajectories, track category expenditure patterns, and calculate burn rates against long-term retirement and emergency savings goals. Account balances synchronize across multiple physical checking accounts, credit cards, and cash wallets, ensuring total bucket balances reconcile perfectly against real bank reserves. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL v3 licensed.

After the bills are covered, how much is actually safe to spend? monetr organizes an entire budgeting application around that one question. Inspired by the defunct Simple bank, it budgets paycheck by paycheck rather than month by month. Funding schedules encode when you get paid - including multiple schedules per account and a weekend-exclusion option for deposits that land early - and every expense or savings goal is tied to one. monetr then calculates how much of each recurring obligation (rent, car payment, subscriptions, on any repeat interval) to set aside from each paycheck, so a large bill never has to come out of a single check. What remains after allocations is surfaced as Free-To-Use, and a forecasting timeline projects contributions, due dates, and leftover funds forward so low-balance periods are visible before they happen. Transactions arrive either as OFX uploads from your bank or automatically through a Plaid connection using your own API credentials, keeping balances and transactions synced without manual entry. The app is mobile-friendly and installable as a PWA on desktop or phone. Self-hosting via Docker Compose is completely free, with all source code public and your financial data on your own hardware.
