Another app that works pretty well is the free one called HomeBank available at: http://homebank.free.fr/ It only works on desktop or laptop computers - Windows, Mac, and Linux. Source: about 1 year ago
I tried to download and try Homebank (http://homebank.free.fr/) but Microsoft Defender SmartScreen through a fit due to "unknown publisher" and in virustotal the installer was flagged by 3 vendors (Bkav Pro, Gridinsoft (no cloud),Elastic) Probably false positives as it seems to be open source, but not sure if I want to risk it.

I use HomeBank [1] because I find the UI a lot simpler than GnuCash and importing mostly just works, with pretty good automatic category assignment that lets you use regular expressions. The only quirk is that one of my accounts uses a non-standard ordering for its csv file which needs fixing before HomeBank will accept it since the import UI is limited. I also find that it is useful to track the database file... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
I used to use HomeBank (http://homebank.free.fr), now just a LibreOffice spreadsheet. I think for personal finances, it's perfectly fine to just record monthly total expenses as a bulk sum, for each account. Unless 'something's off' (i.e. My family has spent too little or too much) it's okay to not know all the expense items. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

I worked with John Wiegley for a couple of years and discovered one of his projects, Ledger (https://ledger-cli.org/), during our conversations. This tool taught me double-entry accounting and helped me understand finance and blockchains on a deeper level. Unfortunately, I’m too lazy to use the tool on a daily basis, so it’s the second most insightful piece of software I’ve never used :D. - Source: Hacker News / 11 days ago
I use ledger: https://ledger-cli.org/ I believe this same plain text format is used by other tools, which you can find info about here: https://plaintextaccounting.org/ (In particular a lot of people seem to use hledger and beancount) The ledger is written using a text editor. The purpose of the software is to add everything up, calculate the balances and make sure everything balances. I keep all of my 12 years of... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
I'm surprised that there is no mentions of a great hacker-friendly plain-text accounting software called `ledger` https://ledger-cli.org/ in this thread. It has amazing documentation when it comes to understanding basic principles of double-entry bookkeeping and goes through many typical situations and usecases. There are also several forks, most popular and advanced is `hledger` https://hledger.org/ (h is for... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
If it helps anyone, I wrote a blog post[0] (based on this comment[1]) explaining how double-entry accounting works. I have recently been thinking about building my own program that implements double-entry accounting in a more approachable form for individuals. I’m not sure if pure accounting concepts are ideal for the average person for keeping track of their budget like how they are essential for businesses. My... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
I learnt all of this by using ledger[0] and, of course, reading its manual. I've been maintaining my own accounts for more than a decade now. It's fun being able to plot my overall wealth and expenses over time. [0] https://ledger-cli.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
