I had been using PocketMoney for a very long time, but it was recently destroyed by the company that acquired it. Seriously looking into GNUCash to try to avoid that kind of thing in the future.
Using an online service for financial tracking seems crazy to me, given the data free-for-all that is going on now.
- benplumley 7y agoI've been using YNAB4 for about 5 years, when it eventually stops working I'm planning to move to Eqonomize[1] - it's GPL so should avoid your concern, but isn't quite as drastic a jump as GNUCash, and it's cross-platform too.

- illegalsmile 7y agoSame. YNAB4 has been great, I have no issues with it and their changelog indicates that nothing radical with regards to budgeting has been implemented since. Any idea if you'll be able to move YNAB data over to Eqonomize!?
- benplumley 7y agoYNAB4 allows exporting as CSV, then you'll need to massage this a little bit to get it into the format Eqonomize prefers (correct headings, etc) then import. I started the process to see if it was possible, didn't get round to finishing because I don't want to move until I have to, but it all seems possible from what I can tell.
- jethro_tell 7y agoI just started into GNUCash during the break. It can be simple or really complex, but the walk through and into guide was really good, once you get a full month done with thing in the right place, i.e. you can mark your mortgage as an expense but it's actually separated out into interest and equity and it needs to be split into both those boxes. Once you get everything set up, updating it and keeping it going seems pretty simple.
