Up to now I enter receipts by hand into a spreadsheet and cross-reference everything to my bank statements. Is there a Linux program that’ll let me download a bank statement and then intelligently categorize different entries on my bank statement? Or allow me to manually categorize entries? No spyware or intrusive software.

i tried GnuCash, but i didn’t find it very useful.

there’s also Homebank & KMyMoney; i haven’t tried either.

i doubt any will auto import statements, so there’s work to be done there.

GNU Cash may satisfy at least some of your requirements.

I heard ActualBudget can do this, but less a software but a server.

Actual Budget is software. It can be run on a home server if desired.

You should be able to do all that stuff with spreadsheets. Any program you use will be a spreadsheet under the hood anyhow.

Indeed, came to add spreadsheets, e.g. LibreOffice Calc or OnlyOffice on NextCloud if you want it Web based. If it’s “good enough” to manage the budget of countries, huge corporations, etc and is taught in schools, it’s probably good enough for a household.

If you are not indimidated by selfhosting, then definitely give Firefly III a try.

Second this! I like the interface. Especially useful for euro banks where you can auto sync.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
