Here we list possible scenarios and tools for interacting with GnuCash book using mobile devices.
Editing GnuCash books directly is currently not supported on mobile devices. The new development, allowing the GC book to be stored in SQLite format, provides a way for easier integration with mobile apps.
The option available to users at the moment is to use a mobile app they are comfortable with, and export their transactions into one of the formats GnuCash supports (like .qif). This file is then imported into GnuCash. A benefit of this approach is that you get two sets of data and can reconcile them on import. The drawback is the same thing. Some users would prefer direct integration without the export/import process.
Android Apps
- GnuCash Mobile is an Android+iOS app intended for entering transactions on a mobile device which exports CSV files for later import into a desktop GnuCash. It allows imported the set of accounts exported from target GnuCash installation. Note that GnuCash Mobile is a separate project from the main GnuCash application. For help with this, file an issue on GitHub.
- Installation options:
- Gnucash Mobile for Android
- unmaintained: original project/application
- This is a companion application for desktop Gnucash designed for the Android operating system and is unmaintained. It allowed you to record transactions on-the-go and export them in the OFX format and later import the data into Gnucash for the desktop.
- Note that Gnucash for Android was a separate project from the main GnuCash application. For help with this, file an issue on GitHub or on UserVoice.
- Although the project pages on Github and Uservoice are still up, the maintainer hasn't updated anything or responded to users since 2018.
- under development:
- GnuCash-Pocket GnuCash-Pocket is a fork of the Gnucash Mobile for Android code-base. A few people are resuming development there.
- It is a separate project from the main GnuCash application, and does not yet seem to be ready for public use (as of April 2023).
- unmaintained: original project/application
- MoneyManagerEx for Android is a personal finance app that allows exporting transactions in .qif format. It also includes an Asset Allocation model for investments.
IOS Apps
- GnuCash Mobile is a simple companion app for keeping track of transactions on-the-go, then exporting them in .csv format for import into a desktop instance of GnuCash. Also see its GitHub page.
