Personal finances, if managed well, can do wonders for one's financial situation. Many, having realized that, are taking proactive measures to keep their finances in check.

Owing to that, **we have seen an emergence of personal finance management apps** lately, these have taken the stage with the functionality that they offer.

But, **many of the options available out there are proprietary**, leading to uncertainty on how one's financial data might be handled, especially, if they sync to the cloud.

Luckily, **we have some superb open-source options** for the same. With this first look, we will be taking a look at one such option, “**Denaro**”, **a personal finance management app for Linux**.

## Denaro: Overview ⭐

Written in C# programming language , Denaro is **a neat little app to manage your finances effortlessly**. It is **completely open-source**, and relies on community contributions for furthering its development.

Some of its **key features** include:

- **Easy Filtering of Transactions**
- **Import/Export Features**
- **Multi-Account Support**

### Initial Impressions 👨‍💻

I installed Denaro by using the available flatpak package from the Flathub store, it **integrated well with my GNOME 42-equipped system**.

The **app has been designed keeping GNOME in mind** and optimized for the default Adwaita theme.

On first launch, I was greeted with a “Good Afternoon!” and options to either create a new account or open an existing one.

📋

Do keep in mind that accounts are stored locally, and not on any cloud service.

I opted to create a new account, and I was shown **the quick-setup wizard**.

I entered the account name and set the location to “Documents”, I didn't add a password, but it's there if you want to lock the info to your tricky treasures 🧐

After setting all that, I was able to **choose the type of account**, I had the options for **Checking**, **Savings** and **Business**, I proceeded with Savings. 

I could also **set the default transaction type**, and **set a transaction reminder threshold**.

Denaro nicely read the info from my system and **automatically set the currency** to **₹ for the Indian Rupee (INR)**.

I then proceeded to fill Denaro up with some important transactions, and grouped them accordingly by **creating new groups**, as shown below.

You can access it by clicking on the “+ New” button besides the 'Groups' heading in the sidebar. You can **give them a description** and **colors** too!

After I was done with groups, I started **entering some significant transactions** into Denaro. 

I set the amount, selected what kind of transaction it was (Income/Expense), set the date, and the repeat interval so that it would occur automatically, as those were fixed charges.

Next, I added it to a group, as you can see below. Fuel Charges went into the “Travel” group.

The app also gives you an option **to add notes and upload receipts to transactions**. This is a neat one, if you ask me.

After I was done with data entry, I was shown **a home screen** that was filled with all the transactions I entered into it, with **helpful visualizing charts in the center** (more on that below).

I was able to sort through the info by unchecking specific categories and groups, and even searching for specific transactions using the **provided search bar.**

If you were wondering; **how to add new transactions?**

You see that big blue button below, that says, “+ New”, you can use that to create new transactions.

The Cat Tax/Installments are expenses that I don't take lightly. 🐱

As for **how data is visualized**, Denaro shows **four distinct visualize views** that include a chart, a graph, and two pie-charts.

Denaro also has **a multi-account feature** where you can create multiple accounts, and even **transfer money** between them using the “Transfer” feature.

Access it by clicking on the “Actions” button and clicking on “Transfer Money”.

Another thing that caught my eye was **the currency converter on Denaro**. It **listed all the major currencies**, with a handy “Switch” button to change their positions.
