Brinance

If you're looking for a financial planning and tracking program that can be used via the command line, Brinance might be a good alternative to GnuCash. While it doesn't offer all of the same features, it can do more than just function as a simple checkbook register. For example, Brinance allows you to schedule transactions in the future, work with multiple accounts, and set up recurring transactions. One of the standout features of Brinance is its Perl module, which makes it easy to create custom interfaces for the program.

If you're a current Brinance user, you'll be pleased to know that some useful updates have been added in the latest release. Now, you can set up recurring transactions using a cron-like format, which is a great way to stay on top of regular expenses. There have also been some changes to the file format, and transfers have now been included as a new feature. These changes should help make Brinance more practical and efficient for users who want more control over their finances.
