I’d like to use this app and looks fine.
Concerns are:
- Is this app still open source ?
- How to verify any backdoor / sending my data to a remote location.
I think the app is good and gonna purchase it, but I need to confirm the above.
Thanks,
First of all, the app is open source: https://github.com/mtotschnig/MyExpenses. In addition, the apps available in the official F-Droid repo are subject to regulations. And with the app there is no hint, with undesirable features. In addition, the app is also built again by the F-Droid team and if something is noticeable there, the building is interrupted.
I can recommend the app in my experience. I also purchased a license. It will connect to licencedb.myexpenses.mobi and validate the license. After that, you can block the app traffic with a DNS filter app (personalDNSfilter, RethinkDNS, etc.). At least that’s what I did.
If you still have concerns, you can contact the developers at Mastodon (@myexpenses@mastodon.social).
Last update was a month ago, so seems to still be open source https://f-droid.org/packages/org.totschnig.myexpenses/
Thank you all, for the clarifications :)
Just tried out the app, is there a way to add repeat expenses like rent?
There are three icons in vertical mode in the upper right. The one in the middle is for templates, there you can create entries and then plan at the bottom. However, it requires permission to the calendar.
Edit: Added that the three icons are in vertical mode.
Does anyone have any other recommendations to compare?
Before i switched to GrapheneOS i was using:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.realbyteapps.moneymanagerfree
I really miss that app but haven’t found anything even close.
Have you tried the app yet? If so, what are you missing in relation to your previous app? There would still be Oinkoin. But i think that’s not what you’re looking for.
Yes. It works with sandboxed play services. I was doing that for a while in the work profile. Running all that is just to much for my Pixel 4A 5G.
Besides the look/layout, I liked how it kept track of credit card statement dates.
