Many, having realized that, are taking proactive measures to keep their finances in check. + +Owing to that, **we have seen an emergence of personal finance management apps** lately, these have taken the stage with the functionality that they offer. + +But, **many of the options available out there are proprietary** , leading to uncertainty on how one's financial data might be handled, especially, if they sync to the cloud. + +Luckily, **we have some superb open-source options** for the same. With this first look, we will be taking a look at one such option, “ **Denaro** ”, **a personal finance management app for Linux**. + +### Denaro: Overview ⭐ + +![][1] + +Written in C# programming language , Denaro is **a neat little app to manage your finances effortlessly**. It is **completely open-source** , and relies on community contributions for furthering its development. + +Some of its **key features** include: + + * **Easy Filtering of Transactions** + * **Import/Export Features** + * **Multi-Account Support** + + + +#### Initial Impressions 👨‍💻 + +I installed Denaro by using the available flatpak package from the Flathub store, it **integrated well with my GNOME 42-equipped system**. + +The **app has been designed keeping GNOME in mind** and optimized for the default Adwaita theme. + +On first launch, I was greeted with a “Good Afternoon!” and options to either create a new account or open an existing one. + +📋 + +Do keep in mind that accounts are stored locally, and not on any cloud service. + +![][2] + +I opted to create a new account, and I was shown **the quick-setup wizard**. + +![][3] + +I entered the account name and set the location to “Documents”, I didn't add a password, but it's there if you want to lock the info to your tricky treasures 🧐 + +![][4] + +After setting all that, I was able to **choose the type of account** , I had the options for **Checking** , **Savings** and **Business** , I proceeded with Savings. + +I could also **set the default transaction type** , and **set a transaction reminder threshold**. + +![][5] + +Denaro nicely read the info from my system and **automatically set the currency** to **₹ for the Indian Rupee (INR)**. + +![][6] + +I then proceeded to fill Denaro up with some important transactions, and grouped them accordingly by **creating new groups** , as shown below. + +You can access it by clicking on the “+ New” button besides the 'Groups' heading in the sidebar. You can **give them a description** and **colors** too! + +![][7] + +After I was done with groups, I started **entering some significant transactions** into Denaro. + +I set the amount, selected what kind of transaction it was (Income/Expense), set the date, and the repeat interval so that it would occur automatically, as those were fixed charges. + +Next, I added it to a group, as you can see below. Fuel Charges went into the “Travel” group. + +![][8] + +The app also gives you an option **to add notes and upload receipts to transactions**. This is a neat one, if you ask me. + +![][9] + +After I was done with data entry, I was shown **a home screen** that was filled with all the transactions I entered into it, with **helpful visualizing charts in the center** (more on that below). + +I was able to sort through the info by unchecking specific categories and groups, and even searching for specific transactions using the **provided search bar.** + +If you were wondering; **how to add new transactions?** + +You see that big blue button below, that says, “+ New”, you can use that to create new transactions. + +![The Cat Tax/Installments are expenses that I don't take lightly. 🐱][10] + +As for **how data is visualized** , Denaro shows **four distinct visualize views** that include a chart, a graph, and two pie-charts. + +![][11] + +Denaro also has **a multi-account feature** where you can create multiple accounts, and even **transfer money** between them using the “Transfer” feature. + +Access it by clicking on the “Actions” button and clicking on “Transfer Money”. + +![][12] + +Another thing that caught my eye was **the currency converter on Denaro**. It **listed all the major currencies** , with a handy “Switch” button to change their positions. + +![][13] + +**Overall, it is an impressive personal finance management app.** + +From what I experienced, **the user experience is pretty straightforward** , and most users should be able to easily use it. + +### 📥 Download Denaro + +You can grab the latest release of Denaro from the [Flathub store][14], [Snap Store][15], and [AUR][16]. + +[Denaro (Flathub)][14] + +For the source code, you can visit its [GitHub repo][17]. + +_💬 How do you manage your personal finances?
