I have mostly enjoyed using GnuCash for desktop and GnuCash Android for years, but the Android version hasn’t been updated in a while and I noticed that it isn’t even available in the Google Play store anymore (or F-Droid, for that matter). There’s a different GnuCash Android app available, but it’s a different developer and it looks kind of bad. I’m concerned that if I get a new mobile device and/or upgrade the version of Android I’m running, I may lose access to the app, which would be a huge bummer. To avoid that, I would like to find a good GnuCash alternative ahead of time. Is anyone aware of a self-hosted solution for double entry accounting that will import GnuCash files and can handle non-currency assets as well as GnuCash for desktop does?

So far, it seems like Fava and Beancounter might do the trick, but I’m not sure.

    I’m personally a fan of plaintext accounting tools like ledger and moved to that from GNUCash several years ago after fighting with the DB getting corrupted repeatedly. There are a few tools for importing from GNUCash as well as many tools for interacting with the ledger on mobile devices, so perhaps worth looking into.
