What's New in Actual Budget

0.0.144

November 12, 2021

* Fix a critical syncing bug that a recent released introduced in 0.0.141. If you've seen partial syncs, that should never happen again! * Also fix a few frontend caching issues which makes the budget numbers more robust * Improve entering amounts. If your system keyboard is set to a different number format than Actual, you will be shown a number input with a decimal separator like "." while Actual expects ",". Previously this made it impossible enter amounts, but now it will work regardless!

User reviews

Waste of money

Desktop app is great $8 a month to connect to my local instance? No thanks. I’ll just use a free browser.

Need option to connect self hosted server

The platform is good but the app does not allow you to specify your own server.

The web app option worked but no way to secure it using face id. If we can point it to our own server then i can secure the app with ios 18 app protection feature.

DO NOT use with open source Actual

Please note this does not work with open source Actual (Actualbudget.org). The original paid for Actual is no longer open to subscribers (actualbudget.com) and this app is deprecated

More expensive than YNAB!

Thought it might be a cheap alternative to the outrageously priced YNAB then found out this is even more outrageously priced! The irony of budgeting apps blasting holes in your bank balance is clearly lost on them.

Can’t connect to self hosted instance

I have a self hosted actual-server but there doesn’t seem to be a way to connect to it. Creating an account leads me to a thing where I have to subscribe for $7.99/mo and nowhere in the app description does it mention this. Huh?
