Hello everyone.

Currently me and my GF have our finances organized in a Google sheet file (hosted on Google drive), being that file integrated with a Google form.

What we do is having on our cellphones a shortcut to the form, where we input all our expenses, they are directly and automatically registered in the sheet, and on another tab we’ve built some sort of dashboard based on all the values the form registers.

So given this context, is there any option or group of options that are open source, and that achieve this same purpose / scenario?

If possible everything acessible on a cloud or at least onlinez so we don’t lose this flexibility and accessibility on our cellphones.

Thanks in advance

    You could just use Libreoffice/Colabora Office App and sync however. If you want it encrypted then it would need to be an e2e service. Syncthing, Proton Drive, Treaserit, or just Cypomator in front of Drive.

    Syncthing and maybe pro expense.

    I’ve never used pro expense, I just searched f-droid for “finance” and looked for something using local storage.

    You probably need to acknowledge that whatever you find isn’t going to be a 1 for 1 replacement for your current workflow.

    , and something like “pro expense”

    Cryptpad.fr offers spreadsheets and up to 1gb free storage, and if i recall right theyre using foss. Im unsure about the dashboard youve mentioned, but id hazard a guess that you can perform automatic calculations based upon cells in the spreadsheet, to for example sum all expenses.

    For forms, make a simple wordpress site with contact form 7

    I use oci free tier but whatever goes(that supports php hosting, preferably a lamp or xamp stack)

    Mmmh, it’s difficult. I personally would look into hosted Nextcloud services that have an office suite enabled.

    We used https://windcloud.de/produkte/managed-nextcloud (German company / website)

    a while ago but only for (large amounts) of data storage, not sure if they do office.

    Also I’m unsure about Nextcloud’s encryption, this says it’s encrypted during transport (https 🤷‍♀️ which I would close the tab immediately if they didn’t do that) and that their disks are encrypted locally. I think what they’re saying is that they’re not using Nextcloud’s encryption feature, not sure if that’s good or bad since it might be that it’s terrible …
