I came across an some opensource accounting software on a tech website and I tried it out, it seemed like a different way of doing accounting and finance administration. I tried it out but I couldn't understand a way of doing things so I went looking for another an alternative with a less steep learning curve because finances isn't my thing. I came across another opensource accounting software and this one I was able to understand
and figure out without needing to much time.
So I transferred all my finances into it and I'm really amazed how good of an overview this type of
software gives, allowing for a better view of my personal finances. I'm going to be testing it for a while before totally getting rid of my excel-sheet, however I just thought it would be an interesting topic for the forum to share opensource budgeting/accounting software. So here are the two I tried, the first one which I found too complicated was GnuCash and the second one which I'm really excited about is HomeBank.
So share opensource accounting/budgeting software that you have experience with and if you would or wouldn't recommend it to others.
