Stash

Stash is a fast and simple personal finance native application.

Its core data-storage and serialisation files are written in C++, and there is an existing (but somewhat old) native Mac OS interface written in Objective-C++ / Cocoa, as well as a much more recent Qt interface/port which now exists (for Linux).

Features

• Easy-to-use interface to view and edit transactions
• Localised Dates and Currency formatting
• Multiple Accounts
• Split Transactions
• OFX Import/Export (1.0 and 2.0 versions)
• QIF Import/Export
• Scheduled Transactions
• Pie Chart Graphs
• Area Chart Graphs over time
• Overview Chart Graphs

Stash is licensed under the GPL version 2.0. For more information, see the included Licence.txt file.

Downloading

Stash is hosted on GitHub. Its project page is here: https://github.com/ppearson/Stash

If you want to download the source code, you can do the following:

git clone git://github.com/ppearson/Stash

Implementations

There are two full implementations of Stash now, in different subdirectories of the main checkout. Both implementations are native wrappers around the core C++ storage files:

• mac/: the original OS X / MacOS interface wrapper, written in Objective C++ against native Cocoa bindings, which was written in 2009-2010.
• qt/: a much newer (written in 2020-2021) Qt (4/5) interface wrapper, predominantly for native Linux support.

The Qt port is now feature-complete to the original MacOS version, and it's likely any future development I do will be against the Qt version.

There's also a very incomplete and WIP CLI version of Stash which is only really for testing file format and core infrastructure experiments, as I don't really see the use in having a fully-featured command line interface to Stash (I much prefer using a GUI), however it could be worthwhile adding export functionality in the future to this version, however I have no need for that currently, and otherwise this CLI is very unlikely to be worked on by me.

Helping

Any help with Stash is more than welcome. As mentioned above, Stash's core is written in C++, with the Mac Cocoa interface written in Objective-C++, and a newer Qt interface written in C++ (for Linux). The list of features still to be implemented in Stash that I hope to get to eventually is:

• Encryption of data files
• More efficient serialisation - i.e. string interning for payees and categories
• Import Rules
• CSV import/export
• Reports
• Budgets
• Multiple currencies
