Installing the Latest Version of Money Manager EX Via Flatpak
Money Manager Ex (abbreviated as "MMEX") is an open-source, cross-platform personal finance manager which uses single-entry bookkeeping. The program has a long history - having been first released in February 2006 - and is actively developed by a team of about thirty contributors. MMEX was awarded the "Community Choice" Project of the Month in July 2020.
The program's interface is straightforward and intuitive, yet highly customizable (in terms of categories, searches and reports). It is secure, as the data is stored in a non-proprietary SQLite database with AES encryption. On the project's Wiki page, the developers state that Money Manager Ex "includes all the basic features that 90% of users would want to see in a personal finance application. The design goals are to concentrate on simplicity and user-friendliness - something one can use every day."
I began using MMEX a year and a half ago, as an experiment on Linux Mint. I found it to be accurate, stable and well suited to my needs. The program is easy to set up, thanks to its use of built-in wizards. It also has a detailed User Manual (available in thirteen languages).
