Free and open source

Accounting for the one-person business

FreedomBooks is a free accounting app for very small businesses: one person, one bank account, personal and business money mixed together, and no bookkeeper. It gives you AI help instead.

It is a desktop app that works offline. Your books stay in one encrypted file on your own computer. No subscription, and no cloud account required.
