Who is it for?

Our verdict

Money Manager Ex fits with a local personal expenditure overview. Due to the reported error in the current release, you should not use filtered balances as a starting point without checking.

Use the program above all to keep an own, consistently implemented overview. Check a limited period with your bank statement and view balances with or without date filter. Precisely as long as a relevant error is reported, that comparison is a prerequisite for the use of reports. If you want a complete accounting establishment, then you have to assess those requirements separately. A pleasant overview only helps if the amounts can be traced back to your data.
