Looks good! However, if you need multi-currency support, I'd recommend checking out HomeBank.

Multi-currency is one of those weird things, where if you actually need it your options are much more limited, but it also feels weird to keep asking financial software developers to keep implement a niche-ish feature. Anyway, it's good to have options.

Multi currency is the one thing every app I try keeps getting wrong. It's not about calling an API for conversion rates, it's about tracking each thing at its currency and being able to convert at price/at cost. I'm hacking together my own scripts on top of beancount at the moment but I'd love an actual double entry accounting app that can handle multiple currencies (and auto import from my European bank account ideally)

The UI is definitely not as polished as the other alternatives listed, but I made my own because at the time Firefly was not exactly right for me - https://github.com/VMelnalksnis/Gnomeshade. It can automatically import transactions using Nordigen, or you can upload a file exported from your bank if you don't want to use a third party service. It also supports multi currency transactions, and sharing accounts between multiple users.

Sharing accounts between multiple users is something i've been missing in many of the existing solutions. Thanks, ill check it out!

Huh, that is interesting, I'll have a look. Nordigen is what I was going to use for my scripts as well

In Germany I’m required to convert the currency to EUR based on the transaction date against an official exchange rate: https://www.bundesfinanzministerium.de/Web/DE/Themen/Steuern... for tax returns. I imagine that each country has their own rules.

Firefly III is 100% multi-currency. Even budgets, bills, anything.

Firefly has good multi-currency support, that's the reason I chose it over Actual
