I’d like to use this app and looks fine.

Concerns are:

  1. Is this app still open source ?
  2. How to verify any backdoor / sending my data to a remote location.

I think the app is good and gonna purchase it, but I need to confirm the above.

Thanks,

    First of all, the app is open source: https://github.com/mtotschnig/MyExpenses. In addition, the apps available in the official F-Droid repo are subject to regulations. And with the app there is no hint, with undesirable features. In addition, the app is also built again by the F-Droid team and if something is noticeable there, the building is interrupted.

    I can recommend the app in my experience. I also purchased a license. It will connect to licencedb.myexpenses.mobi and validate the license. After that, you can block the app traffic with a DNS filter app (personalDNSfilter, RethinkDNS, etc.). At least that’s what I did.

    If you still have concerns, you can contact the developers at Mastodon (@myexpenses@mastodon.social).

      Have you tried the app yet? If so, what are you missing in relation to your previous app? There would still be Oinkoin. But i think that’s not what you’re looking for.

        Yes. It works with sandboxed play services. I was doing that for a while in the work profile. Running all that is just to much for my Pixel 4A 5G.

        Besides the look/layout, I liked how it kept track of credit card statement dates.
