GnuCash is an accounting program that implements a double-entry bookkeeping system. It was initially aimed at developing capabilities similar to Intuit, Inc.'s Quicken application,[9] but also has features for small business accounting.[10] Recent development has been focused on adapting to modern desktop support-library requirements.
GnuCash is part of the GNU Project,[11][12] and runs on Linux, GNU, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Solaris, macOS, and other Unix-like platforms.[13] A Microsoft Windows (2000 or newer) port was made available starting with the 2.2.0 series.[14]
GnuCash includes scripting support via scheme, mostly used for creating custom reports.[15]

^Vepstas, Linas. "Home Page". The GnuCash Personal Finance Manager[:] This is the biggest project I've ever worked on, and you can say I started it. I started by fixing a few bugs in a small piece of software called "X-Accountant", back in '96 or '97. Since then, I've put in thousands of hours of work into this software (yes, that's full time, overtime, evenings and weekends, for many years). Along the way, the name changed to "GnuCash", and it has had hundreds of volunteers adding features functions, documentation and translations, turning GnuCash into the leading personal finance management software on Linux today. It is now included in all major Linux distributions, and sees downloads in the tens-of-thousands whenever a new version is released.
