Welcome to Yaba! Yet Another Budgeting App

This app does not try to re-invent the wheel. It merely tries to implement it in the most effective way.

Most budgeting apps try to act like a ledger and work with the "theory" of finance rather than the practical effects of it.

This app is intended to curb my behaviours by giving me visibility and insights into my spending habits rather than trying to make everything align perfectly.

One of the features this app brings is the ability to use mulitple tags to categorize transactions instead of treating it like a bar you drop in a bucket and everything must fit together perfectly like tetris.

In this way, I can see spend trends based on multiple factors instead of being perfect at math.

I am tired of tracking my finances being across so many apps, platforms, logging into many banks and other accounts to track my finances.

I am building this to be a data aggregator for all my finances. It will be manual at first but I can always build it to be more automated once I get the structure of what I want laid out.

There are some problems I am facing when it comes to budgeting ... why not go with someone else?

• The market is shifting and changing all the time. You never know when your favorite budgeting app will be the next Mint.com.
• Banks go offline, get eaten by other banks or life events happen or you find another great offer you can't pass up.
• You're like me and want to control your own ledger and see where your accounts are sitting at based on the statements and documents you obtain from the bank itself.

This is an interface that will live as long as I do because I will support it through my endeavors.

Core features include:

• Budgeting: Allows for custom tagging of transactions in a seamless fashion where changes are saved right there as you update the table.
• Charts and Graphs to help visualize your bugets and spend.
• Drag and Drop features where you can drag and drop your CSV files from your bank into the app for easy imports.
• Easy tracking of all your transactions across accounts.

The idea behind this app is you download your copy of the software, download the CSV files from your banks, unplug the ethernet cable, and have a nice day budgeting!

There's no tracking software, no logins or passwords, no server to talk to, just you and your data and it's open-source so you can inspect it yourself!

Releases will be available on the releases page. There you can download signed binaries I upload to the project.

npm install && npm run start

Simple as that, you can run this from source.

This uses ElectronJS as the window interface and is an Angular application baked inside of it.

In this way, this app is accessible on any platform (Windows, Mac, Linux). However, this is not a mobile-friendly operation. As such, screens require a desktop environment.

These are wishlist items I want to include after I get the first revision done:

• Automated Account Sync: I know there's API's that enable you to connect with your bank like Plaid that enable you to automatically sync. It would be nice to not have to login to my bank every time I wanted to see the latest updates on my finances.
• Stock market tracking: It would be great if you could also track your buys, sells and gains you would pay in taxes on those transactions as well. Some kind of market interface would be great!
• Business Finance Tracking: Built-in software for business payroll calculations.
• Taxes: Calculations and Document generation for submitting to the IRS would be great if it doesn't get too complicated by this part.
