"Firefly III" is a financial manager for your personal finances.
|
||
It can help you keep track of your expenses and income.
|
||
Firefly III supports the use of budgets. You can categorize and tag your transactions.
|
||
It also supports credit cards, shared household accounts and savings accounts.
|
||
There are many financial reports available.
|
||
|
||
## Try it out!
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
Firefly III can be run on Heroku.
|
||
Register for a free Heroku account and instantly run Firefly III on your very own cloud instance.
|
||
There is also a [demo site](https://firefly-iii.nder.be) with an example financial administration already present.
|
||
|
||
## Getting started
|
||
|
||
To install Firefly III, you'll need a web server (preferrably on Linux) and access to the command line.
|
||
Then, please read the [installation guide](https://firefly-iii.github.io/using-installing.html).
|
||
At the moment, installation is fairly complex. I hope to improve this in the future. If you need support, please open a ticket.

|
||
## More about Firefly III
|
||
|
||
Personal financial management is pretty difficult, and everybody has their own approach to it.
|
||
Some people make budgets, other people limit their cashflow by throwing away their credit cards,
|
||
others try to increase their current cashflow. There are tons of ways to save and earn money.
|
||
|
||
Firefly works on the principle that if you know where you're money is going, you can stop it from going there.
|
||
|
||
### Some advantages of using Firefly
|
||
|
||
- Firefly can import any CSV file, so migrating from other systems is easy.
|
||
- Firefly runs on your own server, so you are fully in control of your data. Remember, there is no such thing as "the cloud", it’s just somebody else’s computer!
|
||
- Firefly has lots of features without being fancy or bloated.
|
||
- If you feel you're missing something you can just ask me and I'll add it!
|
||
|
||
Firefly III has become pretty awesome over the years! (but please excuse me for bragging, it's just that I'm proud of it).
