I'll give this a go So far Actual Budget is pretty good, although I wish the dashboard was a bit more extensive.

Im curious what you dont like about the dashboard? Ive been using Actual since the day it went open sourced, and the Custom Reports really make the 'dashboard' whatever I want it to be.

Theres a couple tiny things I wish would be implemented that Ive suggested on Github, but the core is solid.

Actual is cool but its lack of solid integration with the open banking standard (as is used in Australia and other countries) made it a bit annoying as its partnered integrations are pretty rough.

The open banking standard isn't actually all that open.

As a customer you cannot gain access, at least easily. You need to apply for accreditation as a third party financial services provider.
