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.
I'd recommend using Heroku since it's super simple to deploy a Rails app.
- Via Rails console:
User.create!(username: "...", password: "...")- If you ever need to change your username/password:
User.first.update!(username: "...", password: "...")
- If you ever need to change your username/password:
That's it! You're good to go.
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.
