## What is BeanFlow?

BeanFlow is a personal finance and accounting app built around Beancount.

Whether you simply want to keep track of everyday spending or already use double-entry accounting to manage your finances, BeanFlow brings together an approachable everyday experience and the flexibility of Beancount.

Track your everyday money

A morning coffee, lunch, subscriptions, shopping, bills, or a new source of income — every transaction can become part of your financial history.

Record your income and expenses over time and build a clearer picture of where your money goes and how your finances change.

Start simple

Managing your money shouldn’t require learning accounting before recording your first expense.

BeanFlow provides an approachable way to record everyday transactions, helping you build a personal ledger and develop a consistent tracking habit.

If all you need is a simple way to keep track of your personal finances, you can keep things simple.

Double-entry accounting when you need more

For users who want greater control over their financial records, BeanFlow also supports a more structured double-entry accounting workflow.

Organize transactions through accounts and maintain clearer records of income, expenses, assets, and other financial activity.

Use BeanFlow as a straightforward expense tracker or build a more detailed personal accounting system as your needs grow.

Built around Beancount

Already using Beancount? BeanFlow gives you another way to work with your financial data on your device.

Support for .bean files means you can continue using a familiar, portable format instead of rebuilding your financial history inside a completely closed system.

Import and export your .bean files

Your financial records should remain yours.

BeanFlow supports importing and exporting Beancount files, making it easier to back up your ledger, move your data, and continue using it as part of your existing Beancount workflow.

Simple for everyday use. Structured when you need it.

Recording a cup of coffee shouldn’t feel like completing an accounting assignment.

At the same time, a financial tool shouldn’t become limiting when you want to organize accounts, assets, and more detailed records.

BeanFlow is designed to connect these two experiences: simple enough for everyday money tracking, while retaining the structure and portability that make Beancount useful.

From today’s smallest purchase to your long-term financial history, build a personal ledger that fits the way you manage your money.
