🫘 Beans: tasteful tui accounting

Beans is a powerful accounting tui for individuals and small businesses, inspired by gnucash. It is designed to be simple and easy to use, but nonetheless powerful and flexible.

Beans is not feature-complete. Features may be added if any one of the following conditions is met:

• You need it and ask nicely

📦 Installation

• From source: cargo build --release
• From cargo: cargo install beans

• Homebrew: coming soon

📚 Usage

Detailed docs have not been written yet, so you'll have to figure it out yourself. Run beans to start the tui, default file name is ./beans.book. Refer to the bottom of the screen for keybinds, use ? to toggle the keybind list.
