While exploring some other self hosted/OSS personal finance tools, found https://github.com/actualbudget/actual to be a promising project too.

Does actual support tracking assets in different currencies and split transactions? I'm hacking together a tool for myself that fits my needs, but I'd really be in the market for something that could replace gnucash or beancount for me

Last I checked it didn't even have a notion of currency, let alone multiple currencies.

Yep. The Transaction type has just an amount field: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/blob/master/packages%...

I am also hacking my own tool together for exactly this reason - multi-currency is one of those things that is absolutely essential if you need it, but is often ignored by a lot of these solutions.

I've been using this as a replacement for YNAB and I don't miss anything. After evaluating Firefly for six months, I would say its setup isn't easy.

How easy is it to move data from YNAB to this? i.e. transactions, categories and accounts?

I just start fresh from start.

Why did you stop using YNAB?

Would like to complement beancount.
