Look into Actual Budget, it’s a free self-hostable clone of YNAB. Or could be thought of as an independent implementation of the same budgeting methodology - but it felt close enough in UI and concepts that I feel comfortable calling it a clone.



I manually enter every expense (as categories are not by store, so automation can’t work), and YNAB makes this more convenient with a lot of tiny things (though on testing, the biggest parts are probably remembering the last category for a payee, and better flowing "enter"-key behavior when entering multiple transactions).

That said, it also has a bunch of things that I’m missing in YNAB, so I should probably just set up an instance and go a week with trying it, so thanks for the nudge :)

For a client application

You can import too


Importing YNAB4 into Actual worked, this errored without much information what went wrong.


What do you do on mobile? Very much like being able to enter things in on my phone.

Of course I can keep receipts and do it later but just wanted to know how others handle it.


Actual budget works fine on mobile. I added it as a Home Screen app on my iPhone.
