  1. Firefly III

    Firefly III: a personal finances manager

    I use Firefly III (https://firefly-iii.org). It's a self-hosted web app which is nice for me because I tend to use it from my phone most of the time. It does have a pretty extensive API, perhaps not as easy to do bulk edits as a text file, but should be fairly straightforward. It also has a rule system that could be used to do bulk edits too.

  3. actual

    A local-first personal finance app

  4. qb-escape

    Fork of QuickBooks -> GnuCash migration scriptions from https://lwn.net/Articles/729087/

    In case anyone is migrating from QB and wants to help others, the qb-escape quickbooks to gnucash converter could use some help: https://github.com/erikmack/qb-escape/

  5. GnuCashAutoInvoice

    Sure: https://github.com/blackle/GnuCashAutoInvoice/tree/main

    It's kinda a mess tbh, and it actually also requires some non-exposed symbols to work properly, so it needs access to the GnuCash source code. I wouldn't recommend doing this unless you're ok with maintaining your own unsupported GnuCash feature.

  6. Gnomeshade

    Self-hosted personal finance tracker

    When I started to track my finances I quickly ran into limitations with just a spreadsheet, and also didn't feel like any of the existing options fit my need. I agree that for most (all?) people this level of detailed tracking is probably too much, but it doesn't take that much time for me.

    I ended up making my own app https://github.com/VMelnalksnis/Gnomeshade. I also felt similarly regarding accounts, so I split transactions into two parts - transfers and purchases. That allows to handle multiple currencies, and handle categorization separately from accounts. I haven't looked into suggestions like you mentioned, I went with trying to parse receipts for my most common purchases.

  7. beancolage

    Prototype of a plaintext accounting environment using theia-ide, beancount, fava, and more...

    It's a decent experience for personal accounting if you follow the advice from the beancount cookbook/manual for organizing things. I wish there was a bit more integration between the experience of editing and reviewing accounts, and started https://github.com/seltzered/beancolage as an initial attempt.
