There are tons of open source personal finance apps out there. These apps are useful because they help you take control of your finances. I find it much easier to use an app rather than a spreadsheet or a ledger. Here are some of my favorite apps.

GnuCash is a popular open source personal finance or small business accounting program for Linux users. It is a full-featured double-entry accounting system that supports multiple accounts, investments, and currency conversions. The app also provides a variety of helpful financial tools, including budgeting, reporting, invoicing, and more. GnuCash is a great choice for users looking for a comprehensive and powerful financial management solution. GnuCash is my own personal favorite that I have been using every day for over six years. GnuCash can be installed from the command line or as a Flatpak depending on your distribution and personal choice. GnuCash is licensed with the Gnu Public License. GnuCash is also available for MacOS and Windows users too.
