Firefly III

A free and open source personal finance manager

Firefly III is a free and open source personal finance manager built around a double-entry bookkeeping system. It lets you enter and organize transactions in multiple currencies, and it includes a Data Importer for bringing in data from other sources into your Firefly III administration.

Core capabilities include an advanced rule engine for converting shorthands into detailed transactions and cleaning up bank CSV files, budgets with limits in multiple currencies, categories and tags, and reporting that shows expenses per week, month or year along with detailed account list views and budget or tag comparisons. An expansive JSON REST API lets you create transactions, manage categories and get chart data from other apps or systems.

Firefly III is aimed at individuals managing personal finances, including advanced and mobile users who want to work through the API. It is available as a free and open source download, with a demo and documentation provided on the site.
