The release of the free personal finance management system GnuCash 5.0 has taken place, providing tools for tracking income and expenses, managing bank accounts, overseeing stock, deposit, and investment information, as well as planning loans. GnuCash also enables bookkeeping for small businesses and balance management (debit/credit). It supports data import in QIF/OFX/HBCI formats and visually presents information on charts. The project's code is released under the GPLv2+ license. There is a version of GnuCash for Android. Ready-made builds are available for Linux (flatpak), macOS, and Windows.
