    Plain text accounting in Obsidian.md

  • Is it possible? Yes. There's a plugin for it. You can check out Obsidian Ledger. Though if your aim is just to have an accounting system where you genuinely own your data and have it stored locally, any Plain Text Accounting should suffice.

  • beancount

    Beancount: Double-Entry Accounting from Text Files.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • hledger

    Robust, fast, intuitive plain text accounting tool with CLI, TUI and web interfaces.

  • application

    Buckets Desktop Application (by buckets)

  • I use Buckets for that. It's very similar to YNAB, but your budget file is stored locally wherever you want it.

  • plaintextaccounting

    The plaintextaccounting.org website, a portal to Ledger, hledger, beancount and co. Also the PTA wiki.
