While the disposable cards might not always work, you can always create a regular virtual card and delete/freeze it afterwards. Not sure if there are any limits tho

Not really the same thing, but Revolut has disposable virtual cards that you can use (but it’s a full-fledged bank).

Some apps like MBWay in Portugal also allow you to create these virtual cards, but it requires a Portuguese bank account.

That’s great to hear! There are still some apps on my phone that aren’t taking advantage of it then – or perhaps it has something to do with my custom ROM.

I’m unsure if this is still the case in the latest Android versions, but the terrible camera APIs in 3rd party apps/social media apps is still a big reason why my non-techy friends switched to an iPhone. Even if the quality of pictures using the stock camera app is good, if the photos that come out while using Instagram or Snapchat or whatever kids are using these days are low-quality, they’ll consider moving to an iPhone. Again, I’m unsure if the APIs already exist or if it’s just app developers that are not using them. Either way, there needs to be a push in this direction.

I personally use Firefly-III. It is completely self-hosted (there is no cloud version that I know of), and is quite feature-complete. Their data importer allows you to import transactions directly from your bank (check if you bank is supported, but all European banks are), so you don’t need to create anything manually.

For example, I have the data importer running daily, and then I only have to set the correct category for each transaction, which doesn’t take that long.
