Thank god, I thought this was about the herb.

The herb is a weed that can’t be killed once it gains a foothold.

If someone is looking for a local hosted budgeting alternative, consider using Actual Budget. It's an open source app that's similar to YNAB

https://github.com/actualbudget/actual

Edit:

Also this is an interesting read from the original developer of Actual. Basically, it started as a closed source web app funded by a subscription model. When the business failed, he decided to open source it

Thank you for posting this. Stupid question, how do I download just to put it on my laptop? I don't download from github a lot and I'm a little lost pulling down the exe.

I don't think it's offered as as an exe as it's server-client model where you access it through a web-browser. If you want to just run it on your laptop, it can be both your server and client. The installation instructions are here, and there are also instructions for Docker on the left-side menu.

I used to use Mint before they got acquired, I stopped in 2012ish for security concerns because back then the way you connected was just giving them your password.

Also it broke all the time and my student loans got stuck while my checking accounts didn't so it ruined my net worth chart which was like 80% of why I liked it.

But, shame it's shutting down even if I didn't like it I'm sure it was useful to others.

Mint very quickly gave me the feeling of original devs cashing out just in time before the new owners found out its intervals were toothpicks intricately held together

It's too bad it's not the US mint. It might help inflation.
