This is why I wrote free, open-source budgeting software. All of the source is available on Github, and it is available on all OS-es. https://github.com/reZach/my-budget I'm tired of people being sneaky and selling all of our information and making billions off of us. Of course, we let them, but only because it's very confusing reading (and understanding) all the legal jargon. (FYI - I'm actively developing this software, so if you have comments or wants, let me know and I can see if I can make it happen for you. Thanks friends of HackerNews).

As the author of a free open-source budgeting software, you yourself own all your data, nothing goes off your computer. Of course it's not as fully-fleshed out as Mint yet, but it's getting better every commit: https://github.com/reZach/my-budget

There is now a wiki page on how to use the app. There is a link in the "Help" menu while using My Budget that takes you to this page: https://github.com/reZach/my-budget/wiki/New-user's-guide.

The data is encrypted using the Crypto library from Node (https://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html#crypto_crypto_createciphe...). The passphrase and IV are used to encrypt/decrypt the data using the aes-256-cbc algorithm (https://github.com/reZach/my-budget/blob/master/app/crypto/c...).

Author of My Budget. These are all good things to have, several of them are already on my roadmap (https://github.com/reZach/my-budget/wiki/FAQ#future-features). If you'd like to offer more suggestions, please come to the slack and talk to me "zachary" there, thanks! (https://join.slack.com/t/my-budget/shared_invite/enQtNjA0NDg...)

Author of My Budget. I'm currently working to get OFX supported, which is the "automatic API" that can scrape your transactions. Quicken uses this, falling back on screen scraping in case OFX isn't supported. There are a number of features that I'd still like to add (documented here: https://github.com/reZach/my-budget/wiki/FAQ#future-features). Are there specific things you'd like to see that I can put on my roadmap?

In the screenshot provided in the README, I see there is a 'sync' button next to the 'save' button. If this is essentially self-hosted, what is the application syncing to? Edit: Whoops I missed this line under "Features": > Limited* support to sync transactions with your bank. See here[1] for more details. 1: https://github.com/reZach/my-budget/wiki/Creating-a-new-conn...

I used to use budgeting software such as Mint and Everydollar. As of late, I've lost trust in these "free" services, because I'm not sure how they are "using my data".. I never fully read the terms and conditions anyways. Taking matters in my own hand, I've written offline, open-source budgeting software with Electron. The product is really coming along now, and has made a lot of improvements due to many suggestions from users. The main features are keeping track of expenses by category/subcategory. There is limited support to sync up transactions from your bank; this was a big feature a lot of people asked for. I'll pay you a $15 amazon gift card to test this software. Everything is available on the Github repo below. In order to get the gift card, you'll have to act quick because I only have $200 I'd like to give away for this (yes, sad
