This repository is a curated list of resources for Beancount, an open-source plain-text accounting system. It serves as a comprehensive guide for users interested in plain-text accounting and Python developers looking to integrate with or extend Beancount's capabilities. The collection aims to centralize community-developed tools, importers, exporters, UIs, and educational materials.

How It Works

The project itself is a static list of links and descriptions, acting as a directory rather than a functional software package. It categorizes resources by function, such as importers for various banks and payment systems, user interfaces like Fava, mobile apps, and plugins for specific accounting tasks. This structure allows users to easily discover and access community-contributed solutions tailored to Beancount.

Quick Start & Requirements

This is a resource list, not a software package. To use Beancount, refer to the official Beancount documentation: https://beancount.github.io/docs/

Highlighted Details

• Extensive list of importers for global financial institutions (e.g., Alipay, Monzo, Revolut, Chase, Fidelity).
• Links to various user interfaces and companion apps (Fava, Beancount Mobile, Beancount Telegram Bot).
• Resources for migrating from other accounting systems like GnuCash, Ledger, and YNAB.
• Coverage of advanced topics like machine learning augmentation for importers and SQL queries for Beancount data.

Maintenance & Community

The list is curated by siddhantgoel. Community discussions can be found via the Beancount mailing list and IRC channels. Links to Chinese discussion groups are also provided.

Licensing & Compatibility

The resources listed link to various projects, each with its own license. Beancount itself is licensed under the GPLv3. Compatibility for commercial use depends on the individual project licenses linked within this list.

Limitations & Caveats

As a curated list, the quality and maintenance status of linked projects can vary. Some importers or tools may be outdated or unmaintained. Users should verify the suitability and current status of any linked resource before adoption.
