Beancount

Personal finance for the terminal

For the last couple of months, I am using Beancount to keep track of my finances. So far the usage has been exceptional, especially coming from GNU Cash which always seems to have issues on Windows.

With Beancount, you get a "GUI" in a web server. To start the server, all you have to execute is:

fava journal.bean

Then you visit https://localhost:5000 and there you have a dashboard of everything.

Check out Beancount for more information.
