   Your finance ... stays in YOUR device

   There are so many good reasons iCompta is great ! - The data is yours and stays yours > the only place it can go is YOUR icloud - 1 time purchase > not a rip off subscription - The developer is a guy - not a company trying to sell you a credit or sell others your data - The thinking around the budget cards account... is quite good. Needs some time to get used to it but it's very fine

   Unfortunately the UI is very very basic and not very friendly to log an expense... especially on the phone (it is merely a copy of the computer interface ) - reports are also quite horrible.

   👍 Pros:    1 time purchase - no subscription|Your data stays yours|Very well thoughts & customizable

   👎 Cons:    Need to buy mac os & ios apps separatly|Graphical reports are clearly bad|Ui could be a bit more user friendly

There are also several forks, most popular and advanced is `hledger` https://hledger.org/ (h is for... - Source: Hacker News / 9 days ago

• GnuCash Tutorial and Concepts Guide

  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 / 6 months ago

• Accounting for Computer Scientists – Martin Kleppmann's Blog

  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 / 6 months ago

• Accounting for Computer Scientists – Martin Kleppmann's Blog

  Shameless plug: some time ago I wrote a booklet [0] about principles of accounting with examples in Ledger [1], aimed at personal/home finance (as opposed to corporate finance).
