Money Manager Ex (MMEX) is a desktop personal finance application for managing accounts, recording financial transactions, monitoring investments, and analysing spending.
The software uses an account-based approach to household finances. Users can maintain checking, savings, and credit-card accounts alongside investment holdings and other assets. Its dashboard brings together account balances, recent transactions, upcoming payments, and an overview of financial activity.
MMEX is designed for everyday financial record keeping without requiring extensive accounting knowledge. Transactions can be entered manually or imported from financial files, while categories and tags provide different ways to organise expenditure. Financial information is stored in a local SQLite database.
The application also provides tools for planning ahead. Budgets can be prepared for individual months or entire years, while scheduled bills and deposits help users monitor future financial commitments.
Reports and charts provide different perspectives on income, spending, and account balances. These include standard reports and user-defined reports for more specialised financial analysis.
This is free and open source software.
