Pretty much just gone back to a spreadsheet.
insights about spending up and down per category and automatic categorization was pretty nice.
Budget targets were nice.
I've been meaning to look around for something self hosted or FOSS.
I use a spreadsheet. I have a macro for categorisation but you could probably do it with vlookup instead.
I like using a spread sheet because I'm not locked in to anything, and neither is my data.
If you like using spreadsheets you should check out Tiller.

I tried it and saw its promise, but I don't love spreadsheets.
I have my spread sheet set up just how I want it, based on what I am looking for in a money management tool. I've come to accept that no other tool will do what I want as well as the thing I set up myself.
How are you entering transactions? Manually?
Each month I download a spreadsheet of transactions from my bank's website. I only manually set categories for things not previously seen.
