Good fit for Users who want a YNAB-style budget engine with self-hosted sync and a polished modern UI.
Weak at Bank aggregation isn't free — SimpleFIN ($15/yr) or Plaid (free for small volumes) is mandatory for hands-off use.

Replaces these SaaS
- Mint · Personal finance / budget tracking
Run `docker run -p 5006:5006 -v $HOME/actual-data:/data actualbudget/actual-server:latest`. Open the Actual desktop or web app, point it at your sync server. Mint export (settings → CSV) imports via File → Import → Mint CSV; categories and accounts map automatically. For ongoing bank feeds, add the SimpleFIN bridge (~$15/yr) or Plaid via the community connector. Actual is envelope-budgeting (YNAB-style) on top of Mint-style ledger tracking.
