Show HN: Wealthfolio 2.0- Open source investment tracker. Now Mobile and Docker

wealthfolio.app

383 points by a-fadil 7 hours ago


Hi HN, creator of Wealthfolio here.

A year ago, I posted the first version. Since then, the app has matured significantly with two major updates:

1. Multi-platform Support: Now available on Mobile (iOS), Desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux), and as a Self-hosted Docker image. (Android coming soon).

2. Addons System: We added explicit support for extensions so you can hack around, vibe code your own integrations, and customize the app to fit your needs.

The core philosophy remains the same: Always private, transparent, and open source.

I love the idea of keeping my finances private while still having a useful tracker/planner. And I love that this would give me some protection against a new version making things worse. I also love the option to write my own plugin or to hack the source code itself (even though I probably wouldn't).

But I don't think I'm willing to give up fully automated data refreshes at this point. I have too many accounts to track.

Here are some other ones I've tried and used in the past:

Interesting that this made to HN top, last week i posted as about my open source wealth tracker http://github.com/venil7/assets with all the same features, including self hosting and it barely got any traction

This looks great and it's nice to see development in this space! However, the "big box" alternatives for this which keep your accounts in sync are really cheap (I think I renewed my annual Quicken Simplify for $40) and, for the most part, "just work." So, I personally wouldn't want to switch to anything self-hosted unless it provided automated syncing. I'd actually be all over this if it did especially having a way to extend things with plugins.

I downloaded the iOS app. I like the simplicity. I wonder if it could even be a bit simpler.

I currently do a quarterly financial review. I document the balances from all of my accounts.

In addition to buy/sell/deposit/withdrawl, could Wealthfolio have an option to just add a balance. I suppose In the meantime, I'll make do with deposits and withdrawals.

Last, could you make it a little easier to find to donate button? Or possible at all? Now that I have the app open, I can't find where to send a one time payment.

is there any way to remove entries with the CSV import function?

my bank includes transactions that are yet not final (preliminary transaction where currency conversion still isn't final). these rows change both in both the title and the amount, but i can do some guessing on how a row updates.

however: when i import my transaction a couple days later again, i need to manually keep track and remove preliminary transactions (now removed from my bank's export).

related: when i imported a CSV into YNAB, i would have to manually keep track of updated entries and remove those. with some code and state handling, i could figure out which rows no longer existed – but i couldn't remove them with the import function.

i ended up abandoning YNAB's CSV import and use their API to remove transactions... but it would have been much simpler if the CSV import could just have removed certain rows from the get-go.

(while i don't think this acts as a budget, it think others will run into similar issues as i have when it comes to importing CSV files)

this looks really polished, congrats! in your opinion, how does it compare with alternatives like actualbudget [0]? I've been using Quicken for a long time and might be in the market for a subscription-less alternative that is ideally self-hosted. Quicken has been running into lots of issues syncing some of my accounts lately (mostly duping assets).

Lets say my strategy from now is: 15% on an ex-US mid cap, 15% US Largecap, 15% ACWI growth, 15% Emerging market growth, 40% in short treasury fixed income. If I already have some ETFs already, can this be used to bucket and calculate what is the current state of the ETFs I hold against the strategy?

Can it do that for Mutual funds in like retirement accounts?

Context: I want to implement my own portfolio using some weights on a basket of ETFs. The ETFs are selected by country/geography(e.g. ex-US or US or world) and then type(small, mid, large) and then finally by income strategy(growth, value, fixed, defined outcome etc) based on expected returns.

> Create a the contribution limit with an identifiable name (e.g. 2025 RRSP or 2025 Roth IRA), Year and set the contribution limit in base currency.

Neat: RRSPs are Canadian, so not necessarily US-only.

This is really cool and kind of what I'm looking for since trusting my account details to some app gives me heartburn. I downloaded the source and built it, but still have heartburn after seeing it download 700+ crates/packages. Who knows what is in all of that?!?

> Wealthfolio does not currently support integration with online brokers or aggregators. Data must be imported from CSV files or by manually entering transactions.

This is unfortunately going to be the deal breaker for wide adoption. Self hosting is great, but manually importing data from dozens of accounts every day and entering every single transaction as you make it is simply too much of a burden.

mNovak - 6 hours ago

Looks really cool, very much appreciate making it free/select price.

Just downloaded it on Windows 10, but unfortunately the modals (add account etc) aren't scrollable and cutoff the bottom of my screen, making them pretty much unusable (can't submit!)

Love the idea, but really need some form of access to API's for the big brokerages and apps to be able to pull in data, doing stuff by hand ... na nice looking site/app tho

ghm2199 - 4 hours ago

My hero usecase with these tools is to auto pull investments from Fidelity 401K account + Schwab brokerage + BYOBrokerage.

Then combine them and break them down by country/geography(e.g. ex-US or US or world) and then type(small, mid, large) and then finally by income strategy(growth, value, fixed, defined outcome etc)

I gave the iOS app a spin. 1. It requires at least 2 characters to search for a symbol. What about Verizon (V) or AT&T (T)? 2. I entered a holding for a fund that doesn’t have public quotes by choosing not to look up the symbol and entering the price and purchase date, but then I couldn’t find a way to manually add price quotes for later dates to reflect the change in value.

This looks great. I've thought about vibe-coding a similar app for a while but this might just do - I could save a ton of work.

Others have mentioned in the thread that the lack of account integration might be a problem.

Plaid has been mentioned as a potential service, are there other recommendations?

If I find time I could try to write a plugin over a few weekends.

blackhaj7 - 5 hours ago

Awesome. I have been meaning to give this a try so this is a great nudge.

Given the permissions you expose, it looks like it is possible to write a plugin to get account activities from something like Plaid so I don't need to keep importing - am I understanding correctly?

dexterdog - 3 hours ago

I want to use it, but the first bank I tried (wealthfront) only exports in qfx so that's a dealbreaker.

Here's a philosophical question. Does anyone account for inflation when looking at their long term history? I've been thinking of looking at everything in 2019 dollars.

It might also be useful to adjust for inflation going backwards, e.g. everything shows in 2025 dollars.

>Addons system

Does it do something like custom positions? Like if I wanted to wrap my polymarket positions into there, could I hack that together?

Does this support kinda-specific stuff like those german FinTs and EBICS?

niyazpk - 4 hours ago

Nice features, and very professional website!

As others have mentioned, adding account integrations will make this much easier to use.

I would also love to hear more of your story, and motivations around this project.

I'm a noob on this: does it work as well with funds from all over the world? How does it track them?

There is a few problems with the site docs, the app image for linux (missing libs) and docker instructions. Otherwise its a great idea.

I would love if it also included tracking/aggregation for regular accounts, not just investing. With spending categorisation, for example.

I'd be looking for a plugin that tracks the transactions of US senators. That would be highly useful...

Get thee to SimpleFIN https://www.simplefin.org/ecosystem.html

I think without sync with financial institutions it's going to be hard to grow a userbase.

But this is very cool software!

P.S.: I ctrl+f "encrypt" on your home page and no hits. It's banking / budget / money software, there should be a hit.

denysvitali - 7 hours ago

Looks very polished, I'll try it out!

Best of luck, and thank you for keeping it open source (:

I liked the concept here, but tried it out and couldn't figure out how to add the very first thing successfully. I set up my employer's 401k as the first account, and went to add the first investment in the account, but it's a mutual fund not an ETF, which means I had to disable symbol lookup. I had a cost-basis, I had a current value, and I had a count of shares, but you only asked for an average cost-basis and count of shares. I had no way to update the current value. When starting out the first entry should have all three of these. I tried to figure out to update this, but the only value adjustment was via providing a spread (open/high), and I couldn't figure out how to use this to get it to an accurate value. Honestly, it would have been better to have cost basis tracking in a more advanced place and started with current value and count of shares, and then simply update current value on a time-basis.

I greatly look forward to the day when the Godot team focuses on UI tools and workflow, a layout and theming engine, and slim UI-focused builds. So we can avoid this total nonsense local-server React-UI insanity. This is such a stupid way to build desktop applications.

I just came here to tell you how beautiful your color scheme is. It immediately reminds me of the color of the paper of money. The layout and color scheme look professional, trustworthy, tried and true, traditional yet modern. It's gorgeous!
