A native Mac app for your Beancount ledger
macOS 26 or later · Apple silicon · Free
Or install with Homebrew
$ brew install --cask barcia/tap/beancount-desktopFeatures
Every number comes from Beancount itself, plugins included, so reports match bean-check and Fava to the cent.
Beancount, Fava's calculation code and Git come inside the app. Download it, choose your ledger's folder and you are done — offline from the first launch.
Your ledger never leaves your Mac. The app runs in the macOS sandbox and reads only the folder you choose. No account, no cloud, no telemetry.
Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Trial Balance for any period, with monthly, quarterly or yearly columns and a frozen account column.
Income and expenses, a Sankey of where the money went, net worth over time, allocation, treemap and sunburst. Colour-blind safe.
Holdings lot by lot: average cost, book and market value, unrealized gain, price history with your purchases on it.
Every directive of the period, grouped by month. Filter by type, search by payee, account, #tag or ^link, spot internal transfers.
A transaction dialog with autocomplete, payee templates and arithmetic in the amount. Or the full text editor, with bean-format on save.
Filter by tag, link, payee, account, text or metadata; click a filter to exclude instead. Keep any combination in the sidebar.
Each save becomes a Git commit with a sensible message. Reword or undo it in one click, and browse every diff in History.
Jot expenses down as drafts when they happen and send them to the Mac as a file. No server, no sync service.
A native app, not a web page in a window. Step through periods with ⌘[ and ⌘], add a transaction with ⌘N, switch columns without the mouse.
