Hi HN, creator of Wealthfolio here.

A year ago, I posted the first version. Since then, the app has matured significantly with two major updates:

1. Multi-platform Support: Now available on Mobile (iOS), Desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux), and as a Self-hosted Docker image. (Android coming soon).

2. Addons System: We added explicit support for extensions so you can hack around, vibe code your own integrations, and customize the app to fit your needs.

The core philosophy remains the same: Always private, transparent, and open source.

I love the idea of keeping my finances private while still having a useful tracker/planner. And I love that this would give me some protection against a new version making things worse. I also love the option to write my own plugin or to hack the source code itself (even though I probably wouldn't).

But I don't think I'm willing to give up fully automated data refreshes at this point. I have too many accounts to track.

YNAB4 was a local client, but with YNAB5 they sadly (to me) went online and subscription.

I happily paid for v4 (one-time purchase), but was/am not willing to pay for v5 because (a) I don't like renting software, and (b) I have no need for syncing (which a subscription could justify to pay for ongoing server costs).

ActualBudget is a pretty great YNAB alternative that is free and locally hosted.

I second that. Switched from ynab4 (used some version since 2011) to Actual Budget a few month ago. Some tiny ux issues, but improvement in many more areas. Don't regret finally kicking ynab out.
