Ask HN: Privacy Respecting Personal Finance/Budget App?
4 comments
Not directly answering you question, but on a similar note, would you be more willing to use the "free version" of these tools if they did the following:
- Explain what data they share
- Explain who they're sharing the data with
- Give full control over what data is shared
- Give the ability to easily delete/export your data once you decide you no longer want to use the application
I use YNAB though I’ve never vetted their privacy respect.
Their business model is more obvious though & I like their opinionated approach to budgeting.

I use https://goodbudget.com/ which has sync facility which i found lacking from many personal finance apps. I checked their privacy statement and they don't sell or share our info with third parties.
Check out everydollar.com. I don’t know their privacy policies but in general I trust Dave Ramsey and it’s one of his products.
I'm wary of using any free tool, because it seems that just about every "free" service/tool out there is actually profiting from the "surveillance capitalism" model/network.
Are there any tools out there that are easy to use and privacy respecting? I'm more than happy to pay or give up some features.
