For about 2 years, I've been happily using Moneydance as a Quicken replacement. It's a Java app that runs on any platform, and also has an iPhone app that (up until now) provided sync capability to my Linux server. Their 2014 release apparently broke wifi sync, and it's now deprecated. Here's the response I got from customer support: "If you're using Wifi syncing, I'd definitely recommend switching to Dropbox syncing as it's more stable, robust, and there are unfortunately some issues with Wifi syncing that we can't fix due to certain network configurations over which we have no control. As well, Dropbox syncing is end-to-end encrypted, meaning that all your data is encrypted between your Moneydance application and your Moneydance iOS app, with none of it being unencrypted on your Dropbox folder. For these reasons, we've stopped maintaining the Wifi syncing functionality and are unable to fix most problems with it." Dropbox is putting up a new office building across the street from where I work, so I suppose there might be one throat to choke if anything goes wrong over there: but I'd still *really really* rather continue to self-host all my personal finance data. So, it's 2014 and I'm still in search for an excellent personal-finance manager that works on Linux, Windows and/or Mac, with sync to/from mobile. And whose data can be kept on storage media owned by me, not some cloud provider. (I guess I could go back to my old Windows-only method, but Windows is gradually fading out from my home network with the demise of Microsoft TechNet.) Your thoughts? -rich
