  • ledger-guesser

    Machine Learning for ledger-cli

  • I use ledger-cli + ledger-guesser [1], which uses use machine learning (brain.js) to classify entries automatically.

    I've been relying on this for the last 3 years, it works very well.

  • beancount_reds_plugins

    Miscellaneous plugins for Beancount double entry accounting

  • Sounds like you need to develop a plugin or take a look at existing ones (for example effective date [1] might be helpful)

  • gnucash-xml-to-ledger-dat

    A script to convert GNUCash's XML file to Ledger's dat file

  • Yes, echoing the enthusiasm for gnucash! I'm just passing 3 years tracking every credit card purchase over to investment allocations in gnucash.

    At the end of the day, double entry accounting is double entry accounting and you should be able to move transaction journals between the tools. I haven't tested any of these, but it looks like there are various techniques / tools that make gnucash <-> ledger possible.
