Ask HN: A Finance Tracker

Posted by Ayouby on Thursday July 20, 2023 @07:04PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Im looking for a way to consolidate my finances. Something with small business support. GnuCash is ancient and is too technical for me. Firefly involves self-hosting which I don't want to deal with. Things like Quickbooks, are for small businesses, I want something more inclusive.

I have CSV files that I want to import each month and have the software do some auto-categorisation.

How do you track your finances?

I haven't tried it, but maybe this is a good middle-ground? https://github.com/NickvisionApps/Denaro

What do you mean by mentioning Quickbooks and then saying you want something 'more inclusive'? Like for personal use as well?

Edit: are you looking for a tool that may combine personal expenses along with, perhaps, sole-proprietorship information?

Yeah, that's what I'm looking for. Another comment linked me to a previous post.
