plaintextaccounting.com specifically ledger-cli or with emacs mode. You can do things like YNAB and far more complex things like forecasting, or like other comments try jupyter notebooks for analysis.
- TomK32 8y agoI stopped using (hledger)[https://hledger.org https://hledger.org] before they added the forecasting. Instead I started my own little webapp (after I did try to contribute to hledger-web, but haskell...) and dug deep into R and its forecasting library. Fascinating stuff but you need really nice and clean data to get good results from it. The periodic expressions in ledger-cli are good (and it makes forecasting a lot more predictable when you don't have a lot of existing data) but basic compared to [ice_cube](https://github.com/seejohnrun/ice_cube https://github.com/seejohnrun/ice_cube) the recurrence library that I started using. Last-week-day in the month? No problem with that. Creating the UI for that is tough though...
