In a nutshell: a private budgeting tool that can be self-hosted.
This project is an attempt to understand and control my own spending better without giving my banking/financial info to a 3rd party. The app is meant to be used with 1 login, and you can host easily your own instance.
The app was designed by Iana Noda.
The dashboard lets you quickly see how you're doing in the current month. You can set a spend goal per month and/or per category. This is also where you quickly add individual expenses.
The insights page lets you review any year or month in more detail.
The history page lets you drill down into actual purchases, as well as do any tweaking (e.g. changing category or deleting).
Although you can't connect banking info, you can still streamline entering expenses. The CSV import lets you flexibly import expenses from bank exports.
OnTrack has a light and fun voice that makes it a pleasure to use. The entire app is also mobile friendly.
- Install with Homebrew
- Install on Ubuntu 16.04+
- Spin up an instance (for free) using the Heroku deploy button below. Heroku account is required.
bundle exec rails cto run Rails consoleUser.create!(username: "...", password: "...")The username and password will be hashed.- If you ever need to change your username/password:
User.first.update!(username: "...", password: "...")
I'd recommend using Heroku since it's super simple (and free) to
deploy a Rails app. Keep it awake with my Heroku Pinger!
All you need to do once your instance is deployed is run
heroku run bundle exec rails c to open the Rails console and create your user.
Feel free to use this however you'd like! If you use this, credit would be nice but I don't really care that much. I'm primarily maintaining this for my own use cases. But...if you have features you'd like to see built, or changes that you think should be made, please open issues on this repo and tag me in them! I'd love to improve the tool from your feedback.
