I tried some packages from the archlinux repositories - kmymoney, gnucash and homebank. But none of them represent what I am looking for:
- it needs to be user-friendly. It should not have something complicated, incomprehensible, because it will be used not only by me, but also by my wife. I don’t want to torture her with command line, double accounting ideas, counterparty concepts and separating credit and debit cards, I just want to put spending and future expenses in there.
- It should have future spending and plans in it. For example I want to buy a new video card and my wife wants to buy an electronic piano. I’d like to keep those kinds of entries in a program because they relate to one thing: money.
- Even though these days we can synchronize files using Syncthing or similar, preferably it should be online. Because I use Linux, my wife uses Windows, and it’s better to find something either online or synchronizable and multi-platform.
That’s basically it. I just want the program to keep track of cost sharing, some wishes or something. Well, and a good report on the money spent. So online spreadsheets won’t work for me, most likely. Do you know any such programs?
