[GNC] Cashdera analytics companion for GnuCash

[Kalpesh Patel]

That is pretty cool. 

I was looking to do something like that that was offline from GNC as well. May be I'll see if I can just incorporate ideas into this one. I am on Windows (now and then go back to Linux) as well so runway shouldn't be that long to pick it up.

By any chance does it have coding from AI? I am a bit not sold on its hallucinations, biases and lies it can embed.

Thanks.

Hello,

I built a Windows desktop beta called Cashdera as an independent analytics companion for GnuCash.

It opens an existing .gnucash file, imports it into a local SQLite cache, and shows analytics such as:

- monthly cashflow
- category trends
- Sankey money flow
- transaction search
- budget vs actual
- net worth timeline
- year-over-year comparison
- CSV/PDF report export

The goal is not to replace GnuCash. It is a read-only analytics layer on top of an existing GnuCash book. The source GnuCash file is not modified.

Privacy/safety notes:

- local desktop app
- no account
- no cloud upload
- no telemetry
- independent project, not affiliated with GnuCash
- Windows-only beta
- unsigned installer, with SHA256 checksums in the GitHub release
- please test on a backup/copy first

GitHub public beta release:
https://github.com/proars/Cashdera/releases/tag/v0.1.0

Screenshots:

I would appreciate feedback from experienced GnuCash users, especially:

1. import issues with real books
2. calculation mismatches compared with GnuCash reports 3. reports/workflows that are missing

Thank you,

Ars
