I’m surprised that there is no mentions of a great hacker-friendly plain-text accounting software called `ledger` https://ledger-cli.org/ in this thread. It has amazing documentation when it comes to understanding basic principles of double-entry bookkeeping and goes through many typical situations and usecases. There are also several forks, most popular and advanced is `hledger` https://hledger.org/ (h is for…

I’ve been using hledger[1] – similar tool but has more features like balance sheet, income statement generation with a plain text file for the last 3 years and it’s been working out great. Before that I used iBank (rebranded as Banktivity) and don’t miss it at all. [1] – https://hledger.org.

Some years ago, I wrote myself a tool to download financial transactions from my bank and put them into a ledger journal. I found that manually entering the transaction with the hledger interface was too tedious for me.

All in the same account. I use hledger to manage my finances, so I can have whatever “pots” I want in a single real-world account.

Hledger (https://hledger.org/) is another good PTA option. I’ve been using it for our family finances for a few years now.

You can keep a personal ledger. I use Hledger. It has functionality like the thing described in the OP I think, but it’s stored in a plaintext file anyways so even if it’s not, you can use another program to parse it however you like.

For the CLI rather than TUI, I’ll give a shoutout to ledger (which is what I use, but hledger and beancount are also good choices) for my /r/plaintextaccounting needs, and I use remind for my calendaring. I’ve seen some TUIs built atop them (I’ve tinkered with wyrd for remind and have seen some ledgerlike TUIs, but not tried them), but find that I prefer just a CLI and text-editor.

I am using hledger for keeping track of my finances. It was tedious to manually add all transactions, so I build a python script that converts csv file generated from my bank account to hledger syntax. Additionally it automatically assigns categories based on title of transaction.

This isn’t technically Emacs specific, but you could look into Plain Text Accounting. I use ledger combined with ledger-mode on Emacs, however there is a more up-to-date one called hledger, with hledger-mode. You can have these setup in an org file and export into a plain text file if you would like, but personally I recommend just using one of those modes and editing a ledger file directly.

I have tried several (like https://hledger.org/ ) but would prefer some REA/ValueFlows accounting software.

I’ll give a couple: remind, ledger (and its cousins hledger and beancount ), and ed(1).

The ledger software I use can deal with multiple currencies and supports converting to single currency for reporting. I think that is the best, as you don’t lose any information.

Hledger is software that will never modify your data besides some very specific points and you can automate most of the boring task: https://hledger.org/.
