What it does
HomeBank is a desktop personal finance application with account records, category budgets and filtered reports. It imports QIF, OFX, QFX and CSV files and can identify duplicate transactions for review.
Begin with a statement file
Set folders for the wallet, backups, imports and exports, then open a new HomeBank file. Drop an OFX file into the window or use File, Import. Choose New account for each separate account; the global option combines them. Save the resulting wallet as an .xhb file.
Classify and budget
Review suspected duplicates, split mixed purchases among categories and use assignment rules for repeated payees or descriptions. Category budgets may stay the same each month or vary across the year. Reports retain chosen filters, and scheduled entries feed the cash-flow forecast. Accounts can be exported as QIF and budgets as CSV.
The project supplies a Windows installer and Linux installation routes. Mac ports are supplied by third parties, and there is no official Android app.
