Download Moneydance for Linux

Download Moneydance for Linux is the 64-bit Linux build of Moneydance, the cross-platform personal finance app by The Infinite Kind. Version 2024.4 comes as a Debian .deb package and a distribution-neutral .sh installer of about 146 MB, and covers online banking, budgeting, bill reminders and investment tracking in one private, locally stored application. Install it as a free trial, then unlock the full version for a one-time US$65.

Moneydance on Linux — key points

• Debian .deb package: clean install and removal through apt or your software centre on Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives.
• Generic .sh installer: a distribution-neutral script for Fedora, openSUSE, Arch and other 64-bit Linux systems.
• Bundled Java runtime: the required Java is packaged with both installers, so there is no separate runtime to add.
• Private & local: your financial file is stored and encrypted on your machine, not in a vendor cloud.
• Online banking: connect to 11,000+ North American institutions via Moneydance+ for automatic transaction download.
• One-time license: US$65 with a free upgrade to the next major release — no subscription required to keep using it.
• iPhone companion: the free iOS app syncs securely with your Linux Moneydance file.

System requirements and online banking on Linux

Moneydance for Linux requires a 64-bit Linux desktop and is offered in two forms so it fits any distribution. The .deb package targets Debian, Ubuntu and their derivatives, where it installs and uninstalls through the standard package manager and appears in your applications menu automatically. The .sh installer is a self-contained shell script that works across other distributions, unpacking Moneydance into your home directory without touching system packages. Each download is around 146 MB. Because Moneydance is a Java-based application, the required runtime is bundled with both installers, so you do not need to install a separate JDK or JRE.

To install the .deb, download the moneydance package and run sudo apt install ./moneydance_linux_amd64.deb, or open it in your graphical software tool. To use the script instead, mark it executable and run it from a terminal; it extracts the app and a launcher you can start directly. Both routes give you the same 64-bit Moneydance, and your account file is identical either way, so you can switch between the .deb and .sh approaches without converting anything.

For online banking on Linux, Moneydance connects to your financial institutions through the optional Moneydance+ service, which covers 11,000+ North American banks and credit unions for automatic transaction download. You can also import statements manually via OFX/QFX, QIF or CSV if you prefer not to connect directly. Your account file stays encrypted on your machine, and the free iOS companion app syncs securely with it. The same file is cross-platform, so records you build on Linux open unchanged on Mac and Windows.
