About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

Overview

Financial Freedom is an open-source personal finance application positioned as an alternative to Mint and YNAB, focused on budgeting and keeping financial data under user control.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Manage budgets, cash flow, and transaction organization yourself

The README highlights budgeting, cash flow, tagging and splitting, and global currency support.

Sources: [2]

Self-host wherever Docker is available

The project is intended to run on Docker-capable infrastructure, from cloud servers to a Raspberry Pi.

Sources: [2]

As a reference for privacy-focused personal finance architecture

It is relevant when financial data storage and synchronization should remain under user control.

Sources: [2]

Do not treat the current repository as install-ready

The README explicitly says the project is on hold, mid-refactor, and should not currently be installed.

Supplemental curator note

The concept is compelling for privacy-focused personal finance, but the README explicitly says the project is on hold and should not be installed during a major refactor. Treat it as a code and design reference for now.
