moneymanager-parser 0.2.0

Typed parser and query SDK for Realbyte Money Manager .mmbak backups.

moneymanager-parser

Typed Python SDK and offline CLI for Realbyte Money Manager .mmbak exports.

A .mmbak export is a ZIP-wrapped SQLite database. This package reads the export locally, resolves common schema aliases across app versions, and exposes transactions, flexible queries, schema inspection, categories, accounts, and currencies. Core parsing uses only the Python standard library. Income is exposed by the API, but expense-oriented analysis should treat it as informational because Money Manager exports can vary by installation.

The backup's currencies are read from the CURRENCY table when present. currency() returns the main currency (ISO, symbol, name); amounts are stored in the account/transaction currency and are not converted.

Soft-deleted rows (IS_DEL / C_IS_DEL) are excluded from all results. Account names resolve from the asset table (including the NIC_NAME nickname used by recent exports). When the asset table has an explicit balance column it is used as-is; otherwise accounts() reports a best-effort balance derived from transactions (income adds, expense subtracts, transfers move the amount to the destination account via toAssetUid). Derived balances are raw numeric sums with no currency conversion, so totals mixing currencies are not meaningful.

Safety

All connections are opened read-only (PRAGMA query_only=ON) and never contact external services. Archive members are size-checked before extraction to guard against decompression bombs, and all SQL identifiers read from the backup are quoted defensively.

Install

pip install moneymanager-parser

Quickstart

from moneymanager_parser import MoneyManagerBackup

with MoneyManagerBackup.from_file("backup.mmbak") as backup:
    main = backup.currency()
    if main:
        print(main.iso, main.symbol)
    for txn in backup.transactions():
        print(txn.date, txn.kind, txn.category, txn.amount)
    print(backup.query(month="2026-01", group_by="category").as_dict())

Custom transaction type maps are supported:

MoneyManagerBackup.from_file("backup.mmbak", type_map={0: "income", 1: "expense", 7: "transfer"})

CLI

mmbak query backup.mmbak --month 2026-01 --group-by category --top 10
mmbak schema backup.mmbak
mmbak currency backup.mmbak

All commands print JSON and never contact external services.

Contributing

Issues and pull requests are welcome. Please include tests for schema variants and avoid committing personal exports; test backups should be generated synthetically.
