Actual Budget is a fantastic FOSS budgeting tool that you can self-host (actualbudget.org)

Not affiliated in any way with Actual Budget, but I can't recommend it enough. It's the FOSS version of YNAB pretty much so if you're a fan of envelope budgeting it's a great tool. I'd even say it has quite a few other strengths compared to YNAB (free bank syncing in the EU with more banks supported for example), and you can always be sure that your financial data stays within your reach.

I got simplefin sync working. But I was surprised how manual everything still is. Actual syncs line items but not balance. You have to manually reconcile it. Actual does not handle transfers automatically, you have to set up rules for it and it's very tedious and often requires manual fixes.

For someone used to mint or monarch, I would say sync functionality is extremely mininal. I want to like it more. I'm kind of surprised so many people don't mind this stuff. Maybe I'm lazy.
