I set up tracking all my bank statements, pay slips, Costco (and other multi-category store) receipts, and other things in Fava (beancount's webui) over the last month. I spent way too much time developing a plugin to help categorizing transactions, making a full api and python scripts as well to let AI make edits for me (dry runs before clearing).
I stumbled upon Maybe (https://github.com/maybe-finance/maybe) and the community fork (https://github.com/we-promise/sure) a couple days ago and almost invested too much time to migrate to it. That project still doesn't have split transactions. A fresh intuitive UI is great but Beancount's format is so simple it's hard to beat.
I started writing code using LLM for this purpose and then stumbled upon ‘sure’. I did use ‘maybe’ couple of years ago and it had few issues and I never bothered.
Last couple of days, I tried and moved few of my accounts to ‘sure’, so far it is not bad. There are few UI/UX issues and the entire investments working in silo and not viable on your main page. But the good thing is, developers are actively working on fixing those issues and improving them.
