If someone is looking for a local hosted budgeting alternative, consider using Actual Budget. It's an open source app that's similar to YNAB

https://github.com/actualbudget/actual

Edit:

Also this is an interesting read from the original developer of Actual. Basically, it started as a closed source web app funded by a subscription model. When the business failed, he decided to open source it

As a user of YNAB, I'm glad there's an open source option, as well. The method/approach really clicked for me.

Wow thank you so much! I have been looking for an alternative to YNAB. 🥹

Thank you for posting this. Stupid question, how do I download just to put it on my laptop? I don't download from github a lot and I'm a little lost pulling down the exe.

I don't think it's offered as as an exe as it's server-client model where you access it through a web-browser. If you want to just run it on your laptop, it can be both your server and client. The installation instructions are here, and there are also instructions for Docker on the left-side menu.
