## What is GnuCash Mobile?

An application for keeping track of GnuCash transactions on the go.


Note: this app is not meant to be a standalone implementation of GnuCash. Rather, it's a simple tool for recording transactions as they happen that also allows you to export in a GnuCash-compatible format (CSV).


Capabilities:
  - Import a set of accounts (these should be exported from a valid GnuCash instance; `File > Export > Export Account Tree to CSV...`)
  - Create transactions in GnuCash-compatible, double-bookkeeping fashion.
  - Export said transactions for import into a standalone GnuCash instance (`File > Import > Import Transactions from CSV...`). Use the "GnuCash Export Format".
  - Set favorite debit and credit accounts for pre-populating transaction fields.

## Key features

- Record transactions on the go
- GnuCash-compatible double-bookkeeping
- Export transactions in CSV format
- Import GnuCash account trees
- Pre-populate transaction fields

### 2/5 — confused

*2025-08-11, version 1.0.8*

Hello! i can’t load anything in is that normal?

### 5/5 — Fantastic! Someone give this man a 'Solid Gold Sandwich' (TM)

*2025-04-18, version 1.0.8*

I usually sit down with monthly bank statements to update my accounts, but by that point I've forgotten about numerous cash transactions. This is a great help!

### 1/5 — Import

*2024-06-13*

Exactly what is it looking for? I entered my.gnucssh file from my desktop and nothing happens

### 5/5 — Thanks!

*2023-07-04, version 1.0.8*

Hey thanks bro!

One question - what option to choose when importing?

### 2/5 — Certainly no frills

*2023-04-20*

If one selects a debit account (like any expense account) to enter a positive amount, a negative amount will be exported to that account. Then the “credit account” will have a positive amount posted!!!??? Once I realized this I allowed for it. But really?

If this app allows for split transactions (pretty common for me), I couldn’t figure out how.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2023-03-29, version 1.0.8*

Its great because its free but it needs someone who is familiar with accounting software and generally accepted accounting principles

### 2/5 — Issues!

*2022-10-20*

Will not import anything as of 10/20/2022.

### 2/5 — Kudos for the effort but not ready for me.

*2022-07-10*

I currently use iQIF for this exact purpose. One of the major problems there is with i QIF is that importing accounts only works with Finder/iTunes, which can be troublesome without a Mac. This app instead, allows one to import using the more modern and flexible Files. 👍

However as of 2022-07 here are major issues which would create a substantial downgrade for me from using iQIF:

- Why import export in CSV, which requires making sure parameters are correct, when gnucash has XML export for accounts which includes commodity and QIF import, which prevents double importing?

- no way of correcting currency symbol fo account. 

- can’t search through accounts. I have about 300 accounts. Can’t keep scrolling for them all the time I add a transaction. 

- account hierarchy is not organized like in gnucash. Some placeholders are not whereI would  expect them to be. 

- accounts with long names do not display properly on the UI interface

- was not able to find a list of transactions so that I can go back and modify or edit one. Must go look find the transaction inside the account.

### 5/5 — Thank you for making this available on ios

*2022-01-03*

Works great so far.

### 4/5 — helpful

*2021-12-21*

Gnucash moble is a little app with potential.   I hope to see more from it in the future.
