Firefly III is a free, self-hosted personal finance manager written in PHP. It tracks expenses and income, supports budgets, categories, tags, and financial reports, and can import data from external tools.

Use cases

• track my personal expenses and income
• self-hosted budgeting app
• manage household budgets and categories
• generate financial reports from my transactions
• import bank transactions and categorize spending
• replace Mint with an open-source finance manager

When to choose

• you want full control and privacy over your financial data on your own server
• you need budgets, categories, tags, and reporting in one tool
• you prefer open-source software with an active community and Docker deployment

When to avoid

• you want a hosted, zero-setup service with automatic bank syncing out of the box
• you need business or multi-entity accounting rather than personal finance
• you cannot run your own server or Docker instance
