Money Manager Ex

What it is

Money Manager Ex is free, open-source personal finance software for organising finances, tracking spending, and viewing overall financial worth. It supports checking, term, and investment accounts, including multiple currencies across accounts. Transactions can be searched, filtered, and sorted by every field. Users can set annual or monthly budgets and compare spending with them, while scheduled transactions can add account entries automatically on their due dates or let users adjust values first.

Custom reports can use SQL queries, LUA code, and HTML/CSS/JS through an internal templating engine. Import and export formats include QIF, CSV, HTML, and XML; CSV imports support user-selected field order. Financial records are stored locally by default, and the security page says desktop, Android, and iOS/iPad apps support AES256 encryption. Database files can also be kept with a chosen cloud provider or phone storage and sync tools. The free plan costs nothing, with no ads or charges. It is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, though older macOS versions have listed version limits.
