There is also a hass.io [addon](https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-firefly-iii), and it works nicely with [Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io). Note: Since it is self-hosted, you will need to ensure that your server (either local or remote) is correctly configured for security.

HomeBank makes it easy to import financial data from other software (Quick Books, Microsoft Money etc) and bank accounts (in OFX/QFX, QIF, CSV format), and has all the essential features you'd expect. Available on Linux and Windows (and a 3rd-party port for Mac OS)
**[GnuCash](https://www.gnucash.org)** (Desktop) | Full-featured cross-platform accounting application, which works well for both personal and small business finance.

#### Notable Mentions

[Collabora](https://nextcloud.com/collaboraonline) or [OnlyOffice](https://nextcloud.com/onlyoffice) (on [NextCloud](https://nextcloud.com)), [Libre Office](https://www.libreoffice.org) and [EtherCalc](https://ethercalc.net) are popular open source spread sheet applications. [Mintable](https://github.com/kevinschaich/mintable) allows you to auto-populate your spreadsheets from your financial data, using publicly accessible APIs- mitigating the requirement for a dedicated budgeting application.
