Consider taking a look at Zed, it can use Gemini with an API key and has an agentic “write” mode if you don’t want to copy and paste.

Not really a direct alternative as it requires you to use their bank but I've used Qube money for years and love never having to import transactions.

Qube Money is a fintech startup where your debit card is controlled by an envelope based budgeting app. It's still early days so no check deposit but they have thriving Facebook group of users and it helps me be much more intentional about spending.

They even have some neat features similar to privacy.com where you can spin up virtual ACH/debit card numbers via "Bill Qubes". Not to hide your identity but make sure free trials stay that way.

Qube Money. After about 9 years of using systems that required us to import transactions, the tap to spend from virtual debit card method of Qube Money is a huge time saver!

I carry around an F1 Orchid Dumb Phone from Sunbeam Wireless (voice to text on it is awesome!) and try to leave my smartphone in my office and find I am more relaxed and have more time when I don't scroll HN and News as much. I still usually bring my smartphone when I leave home but I love spending evenings without it.

It's not offline or open source but I love Qube Money. No transactions to import because you choose category to spend from before you can swipe your Debit Card. For regular bills I still use a separate account/CC but this has allowed me and my SO to spend a lot less time budgeting.

Gitlab 14 5 years ago

I kept stopping at the MVP section (I'm on iOS) but if you keep scrolling you'll eventually get to "Key features released in GitLab 14.0"

It might sound crazy to suggest more phones as a solution but using two phones, one of which has browser blocked with screen time and other one I leave in my office. That allows me to intentionally leave my browser enabled phone and use my other phone when I want to be less tempted to scroll a lot.
