• I CANT FIND A BUDGET SYSTEM I CAN STICK TO...

  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: 9 months ago

• Windows Software for Logging Expenses/Income

  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.

• Gnucash – open-source accounting software for personal and small businesses

  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 / over 1 year ago

• GnuCash

  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 / almost 2 years ago

• Actual is going open-source

  What is a good desktop-first budgeting application? I've been using Homebank[1] for a few years now but I'm open to suggestions. [1]: http://homebank.free.fr/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• The Steam Deck Sold me on Linux

  Never heard of Microsoft Money but it seems like it some sort of accounting software. I found skrooge. It might be an alternative on linux. It has an installer for windows on their website. I've installed it and it seems that it can import "microsoft money document". Maybe try it out on windows first and see if it works out? Source: about 1 year ago

• Envelope/zero-based budgets in KMyMoney?

  There's also Skrooge which very similar if KMoney doesn't work. Source: over 1 year ago

• Show HN: Connect your bank account to Google Sheets

  Maybe https://skrooge.org/ perhaps? There's also a big list of alternatives to GnuCash at https://alternativeto.net/software/gnucash/ which you can filter down by various tags (open source or not, operating system, etc). - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• The state of FOSS personal finance tools, and a possible solution

  KMyMoney is designed for personal finance. It is double-entry and cross-platform. Skrooge is also personal finance, and it's single entry so may be easier to pick up on. Source: almost 3 years ago

• The state of FOSS personal finance tools, and a possible solution

  At one point I was using Skrooge fairly regularly but ran into the same issue I ran into things like GNU cash-- it's really overkill for my needs. Source: almost 3 years ago
