Ask HN: Personal and Side Business Finance Software

3 pointsby weirdtunguskaover 9 years ago
I&#x27;m looking for something to use to manage both my personal finances and my (very small) side business. A few things that I think it would help immensely:<p>- support for CSV, QIF and QLX files - both accounting and budgeting capabilites (YNAB has a good idea on budget) - Be able to separate different types of accounts (Checking, Saving, Investments, etc) by bank - Easy to use (double-entry might be overkill) - Linux and MacOS (Windows and web self hosting optional)<p>So far I tried:<p>- YNAB 4: works, simple, no web self hosting (Dropbox only for version 4), Wine on Linux - GnuCASH: kinda complicated, no web, no budget - Mint is not available for the banks I use and in my country - Homebank: works, no web, no budget - Excel files: high maintenance, no web - Google Sheets: high maintenance<p>Thanks!

I think ledger[0] or hledger[1] might work for you. The latter is a Haskell port of the former that provides an additional web-based interface.<p>[0] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ledger-cli.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ledger-cli.org&#x2F;</a> [1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;hledger.org" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;hledger.org</a>
