To solve personal finance control I made myself a bot (on telegram). Works on anything web/desktop/mobile and that is just text. I think about it as my accountant.
I send him
>Beer 4 ( meaning I spent 4 on beer)
>wine 6 EUR ( meaning I spent 6 EUR on wine)
If I want to group things in a category:
>Beer is drinks
>wine is drinks
Don't forget to first set the expense currency.
>config ExpenseCurrency USD - (this will be the default expense currency if you don't specify otherwhise)
If you want to export just write:
> export expense
