What accounting app do you use?
Want to start using a new one. Ideally that I can install on a USB key and carry with me on my trips. Nothing fancy. Just need to do invoices, track them and be able to backup easy.
Used dolibarr and odoo in the past.

The first one that comes to mind, you can carry it in a linux usb, I personally never use it, even though we use it on bbo https://www.gnucash.org/
Echándole un vistazo. No sé si me va a permitir emitir facturas pero voy a intentarlo :)
Gracias Gzuuuus!
Hmm no estoy seguro, ya contarás 👌
Pd hace unos dias que estoy usando logsec 👀 cayendo por el rabbit hole.
Eso si aun no me puse a trastear con plugins ni nada
The first that comes to mind is GNUCash, but I also asked chatgpt and here is what I got:
There are several open-source accounting software options that work offline and support invoicing. Here are some popular ones:
1. **GnuCash**

- Features: GnuCash provides double-entry bookkeeping, stock/bond/mutual fund accounts, small-business accounting, reports, graphs, QIF/OFX/HBCI import, transaction matching, scheduled transactions, and more. It also allows you to manage invoicing and vendor management.

2. **Manager**
- Platforms: Windows, macOS, Linux

3. **FrontAccounting**

While evaluating which software to choose, always consider:
- The complexity of your business operations and the features you need.
- How user-friendly the software is.
- Whether the software is actively maintained and updated.
- The community and documentation/support available.
It's always a good idea to test a few options before settling on one to see which one best fits your needs.
There is also https://zaprite.com/ not offline but BTC focused, no luck etc
I meant to write no KYC auto complete did "no luck"
Nunca había parado a echarle un vistazo a Zaprite y está muy bien montado y con lo mínimo que necesitas. Hay cosas por las que no me voy a decidir por esta solución:
- cloud (mi info bitcoin en cloud? No way)
- en beta
- tendrá modelo de suscripción que no han hecho público y puede ser una gran sorpresa
Yo uso desde hace tiempo factura script https://facturascripts.com/
Es sencillo, muy barato, ampliable con plugins, permite emitir facturas y tu guardas tus datos. Si lo necesitas en un USB te montas un lamp y solucionado.
¿Qué inconveniente le has encontrado a Odoo? En el pasado la usé y quedé muy contento... Actualmente no la necesito.
La tediosa instalación y extensa configuración. Busco algo plug and play para un pequeño freelancer como yo
Conoces hledger-cli? Es otro de esos rabbit-holes, pero una vez le coges el truco no puedes vivir sin el. La contabilidad la llevas en archivos de texto, si quieres en vim, y el programa te genera informes tipicos balance, pnl, cashflow... y hay muchos scripts para importar datos, crear facturas, etc
