Hi everyone!

I have been using Grisbi for at least 15 years now to get around personal finances/expense tracking.

It is a very basic tool that tracks expenses, clearances, etc… Nothing crazy but it helps a lot to follow your budget, keep things on track. Everything is backed up through a file that I sync with Nextcloud.

For some reasons, I won’t be able to use it as easily in the coming months (new restrictions on my work laptop) so I’m looking for a Web-based selfhost-friendly alternative. I’ve already narrowed it down to 3:

Firefly III which looks pretty nice (and PHP is kind of a plus in my case)
Actual Budget which looks pretty cool too
Kresus much more barebone but might get the job done eventually

Do you have some feedback on any of those applications? Do you know any other alternatives worth looking at? Have you had the same kind of experience going from Gnucash/Grisbi/other to Web-based app?

I have had a lot of issues setting up Firefly III on different systems so I never got to get it working.

Eventueel I ended upfinding Actual Budget, while not perfect it works really well and I have been using it for more than a year now

I find the DB sync system in Actual a bit odd. Don't get me wrong it seems to work but I'm afraid it might corrupt in some corner cases.
