I’ll have to take a look at this, it looks interesting. While I liked the visual appear of trends in Monzo, I always struggled with it and after an unfortunate issue with Monzo over Christmas, I don’t want to use them any longer.

I currently use a spreadsheet for all my budgeting. It’s not that detailed and doesn’t show me what I’ve spent on my cards but I know where my bills are and if I need to budget for holidays or expenses.

The idea is good. The visuals are not.

I’m using Actual Budget too, and it’s so good . Whilst there’s no app through the various app stores, you can install the website to use it as an app on your phone. The mobile version isn’t quite as fully featured as the desktop view, but it does what I need (allows me to check and update my budget on the go) and is improving rapidly.

I love that it’s open-source, and that it’s free if I self-host the server (which I already had set up for home automation purposes).

I don’t actually use the reports much yet, but use the Budget almost daily and have set up the templates to make sure my money goes where it’s most needed. I also find the Schedules really useful to see what’s coming up.

Has anyone using Actual Budget managed to get Pots to sync? I’ve connected my Monzo account with Gocardless fine and all the Pots appeared in the list but they all show as 0 balance and don’t seem to sync correctly. The main account itself is syncing fine
