SimpleBooks

An ongoing side project: a lightweight bookkeeping app that, for now, only I use. It moves along whenever I have a free weekend.

The idea is simple bookkeeping for gig workers, freelancers and small property owners who'd rather not think about it. Everything lives in a local database on the computer it runs on, so nothing gets sent anywhere.

The SimpleBooks cash balance report for a made-up business, listing dated income and expenses with a running balance.

What it does so far

  • Tracks income and expenses in a simple ledger
  • Starts with nine categories you can change
  • Builds profit and loss reports and balance sheets
  • Exports to CSV for your accountant
  • Filters by date and category

Python, Flask, SQLite, Pico CSS.
