HomeBank is a personal accounting software package that runs on BSD Unix, Linux, Windows, macOS (via MacPorts[1] or Homebrew[2]) and AmigaOS.[3][4][5]

Released under version 2 or later of the GNU General Public License, HomeBank is free software alternative to popular commercial personal banking offerings.[6] HomeBank can be found in the software repositories of Linux distributions such as Fedora,[7] Ubuntu[8] and Linux Mint.[9] HomeBank is now available as a Flatpack for Linux.[10]

Unlike the more complicated alternatives to HomeBank, you don't have to learn double-entry bookkeeping to use HomeBank.[11]
