I recently switched to Lunch Money from Mint (6+ years user). I was sold after spending a weekend setting it up and getting used to it.

The app is a delight compared to Mint. The interface is simple, fast and snappy. You never get an annoying "Refreshing your accounts" notice every time you login. I've come across far fewer connection issues compared to Mint (~everyday).

There is a host of nifty features I never knew I wanted: custom rules; recurring expenses; split transaction; grey/green checkmark for unreviewed/reviewed transactions.

Jen (the founder) is also very responsive to feedback. It feels great to have your bug report addressed and fixed in a couple days. Keep up the excellent work!

Check out Algo [0] if you're interested in setting up a personal WireGuard VPN server. It's simple and hassle-free, especially if you are not familiar with server administration and don't want to be bogged down by details.

I have one deployed on Digital Ocean ($5/mo droplet). All you need to do is run the setup script, answer a few yes/no questions (optional features), paste in your API key, and update the firewall setting on Digital Ocean's dashboard.

If anything goes wrong, deploying a new one only takes minutes.
