KMyMoney
Personal finance manager with proper bookkeeping under a familiar cheque-book layout.
Our verdict
KMyMoney sits between HomeBank and GnuCash. It uses double-entry bookkeeping like GnuCash, but hides most of it behind a ledger that reads like a cheque book, so you can enter your spending without studying accounting first.
It is the better pick if you have investments, a mortgage or accounts in more than one currency, because those are properly modelled rather than bolted on.
Coming from Quicken or Microsoft Money you will recognise the shape of it. The main adjustment is that automatic bank feeds are rare outside a handful of banks, so most people download a statement file each month and import it.
