Contents

Released under version 2 or later of the GNU General Public License, HomeBank is free software alternative to popular commercial personal banking offerings. [7] HomeBank can be found in the software repositories of Linux distributions such as Fedora, [8] Ubuntu [9] and Linux Mint. [10] HomeBank is now available as a Flatpack for Linux. [11]

Unlike the more complicated alternatives to HomeBank, you don't have to learn double-entry bookkeeping to use HomeBank. [12]

History

Development of HomeBank began in 1995 on Amiga. Stable version 1.0 was released in January 1998 as shareware. In May 2003, version 3.0 was released as free software and a full rewrite was started using the C language and the Gtk+ library. Version 3.2 was released in September 2006 on Linux. As of August 2007, HomeBank was made available on macOS. In May 2008, version 3.8 was also released on Microsoft Windows. [13] [14]
