  • ananthakumaran/paisa

    "Paisa" is a personal finance manager that leverages the ledger double entry accounting tool. It's currently in alpha but usable, with updates based on user feedback. You can explore its web interface at https://demo.paisa.fyi and engage in discussions or report bugs on Matrix chat. The software is open source under AGPL 3 or later, though pull requests aren't accepted at the moment due to the desire for full control over the UI project's development process, but this might change in the future.
