Bagels 0.2.2

Powerful terminal expense tracker.

Bagels - TUI Expense Tracker

Powerful expense tracker that lives in your terminal.

Bagels expense tracker is a TUI application where you can track and analyse your money flow, with convenience oriented features and a complete interface.

Why an expense tracker in the terminal? I found it easier to build a habit and keep an accurate track of my expenses if I do it at the end of the day, instead of on the go. So why not in the terminal where it's fast, and I can keep all my data locally?

Features

Some notable features include:

• Accounts, (Sub)Categories, Splits, Transfers, Records
• Templates for Recurring Transactions
• Add Templated Record with Number Keys
• Clear Table Layout with Togglable Splits
• Transfer to and from Outside Tracked Accounts
• "Jump Mode" Navigation
• Less and Less Fields to Enter per Transaction, Powered by Transactions and Input Modes
• Insights
• Customizable Keybindings and Defaults, such as First Day of Week

Installation

MacOS:

# install uv (package manager):
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# restart your terminal, or run the following command:
source $HOME/.local/bin/env # or follow instructions

# install bagels through uv
uv tool install --python 3.13 bagels

Windows:

# install uv:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
# then follow instructions to add uv to path
uv tool install --python 3.13 bagels

Usage:

bagels # start bagels
bagels --at "./" # start bagels with data stored at cd
bagels locate database # find database file path
bagels locate config # find config file path

It is recommended, but not required, to use "modern" terminals to run the app. MacOS users are recommended to use iTerm2, and Windows users are recommended to use Windows Terminal.

To upgrade:

uv tool upgrade bagels

Development setup

git clone https://github.com/EnhancedJax/Bagels.git
cd Bagels
uv sync
mkdir instance
uv run bagels --at "./instance/" # runs app with storage in ./instance/
# alternatively, use textual dev mode to catch prints
uv run textual run --dev "./src/bagels/textualrun.py"
uv run textual console -x SYSTEM -x EVENT -x DEBUG -x INFO # for logging

Please use the black formatter to format the code.
