Firefly III (v3.3.5)
Firefly III is a tool to help you manage your finances. Please read the full description in the wiki.
Firefly Mark III is a new version of Firefly built upon best practices and lessons learned from building Firefly. It's Mark III since the original Firefly never made it outside of my laptop and Firefly II is live.
If you're not sure if this tool is for you, please read the full description.
To install and use Firefly III, please read the installation guide, the upgrade guide (if applicable) and the first use guide

Changes
Firefly III will feature, but does not feature yet:
- More control over other resources outside of personal finance
- Accounts shared with a partner (household accounts)
- Debts
- Credit cards
- More test-coverage;
- Firefly will be able to split transactions; a single purchase can be split in multiple entries, for more fine-grained control.

- Any other features I might not have thought of.
Some stuff has been removed:
- The nesting of budgets, categories and beneficiaries is removed because it was pretty pointless.
