Money Manager Ex for Linux — free v1.9.2

Free & open source (GPL v2) · no ads, no sign-up

Money Manager Ex for Linux is a free desktop finance app packaged as an Ubuntu .deb and a distro-agnostic Flatpak. It is open-source under the GNU GPL v2, has no ads and needs no account, and keeps everything in a single SQLite file you can encrypt with AES-256.

.deb, Flatpak or source?

On Ubuntu, pick the .deb that matches your release: 24.04 "noble" or 22.04 "jammy". If you run a different distribution — Fedora, Arch, openSUSE and others — install the Flatpak from Flathub, which bundles its own dependencies. Anything else can build from source; the code and build instructions are in the project repository. For other systems see the Windows and macOS guides, or the full download hub.

Install step by step

  1. Download the file for your release above, or add the Flatpak from Flathub.
  2. Install an Ubuntu .deb from the folder you saved it in, for example:
    sudo apt install ./mmex_1.9.2-Ubuntu.24.04.noble_amd64.deb
  3. Or install the Flatpak on any distribution:
    flatpak install flathub org.moneymanagerex.MMEX
  4. Launch Money Manager Ex from your application menu, or run flatpak run org.moneymanagerex.MMEX.
  5. Create a new database file — this single file holds your data and can be AES-256 encrypted. Nothing is uploaded.

Using apt install ./file.deb lets apt resolve dependencies automatically. On distributions without .deb or Flatpak, build from source using the instructions in the official repository.

System requirements

Money Manager Ex is a native GTK application built with wxWidgets, so it is light on resources and runs on any current desktop Linux. The Ubuntu .deb packages target 64-bit (amd64) systems on 22.04 and 24.04, while the Flatpak bundles its own runtime and works on most other distributions. It needs only a few hundred megabytes of disk space, and your data lives in a single SQLite file you control.

Updating and removing MMEX

If you installed the Flatpak, update it with flatpak update org.moneymanagerex.MMEX; for a .deb, download the newer package from the download hub and install it the same way to upgrade in place. To remove the app, run flatpak uninstall org.moneymanagerex.MMEX or sudo apt remove mmex. Removing the program never touches your database file, so back it up or delete it separately if you no longer need it. Other distributions can always build the current release from source.

Linux FAQ

Which .deb do I need?
Match your Ubuntu release: use the 24.04 "noble" package on 24.04, and the 22.04 "jammy" package on 22.04.
I don't use Ubuntu — what should I install?
Use the Flatpak from Flathub. It runs on most distributions and carries its own dependencies, so there is nothing extra to set up.
How do I install the .deb from the terminal?
Run sudo apt install ./mmex_1.9.2-Ubuntu.24.04.noble_amd64.deb from the download folder so apt pulls in any needed libraries.
Can I build it myself?
Yes. The source and build instructions are in the project repository. It is free and open-source under the GNU GPL v2 — see the features guide or the review.
