• I CANT FIND A BUDGET SYSTEM I CAN STICK TO...

  Another app that works pretty well is the free one called HomeBank available at: http://homebank.free.fr/ It only works on desktop or laptop computers - Windows, Mac, and Linux. Source: about 1 year ago

• Windows Software for Logging Expenses/Income

  I tried to download and try Homebank (http://homebank.free.fr/) but Microsoft Defender SmartScreen through a fit due to "unknown publisher" and in virustotal the installer was flagged by 3 vendors (Bkav Pro, Gridinsoft (no cloud),Elastic) Probably false positives as it seems to be open source, but not sure if I want to risk it.

• GnuCash

  I used to use HomeBank (http://homebank.free.fr), now just a LibreOffice spreadsheet.

Unless 'something's off' (i.e. My family has spent too little or too much) it's okay to not know all the expense items. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Actual is going open-source

  What is a good desktop-first budgeting application? I've been using Homebank[1] for a few years now but I'm open to suggestions. [1]: http://homebank.free.fr/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
