To offer another option for a graphical FOSS budgeting app, I switched to https://actualbudget.org a few months back and it's great.

It's like YNAB, but with less magic. Plus sophisticated features like a rules engine for automatically filling envelopes and cleaning up spare funds at the end of the month.

I host it on Pikapods for cheap, and connect to my bank accounts with SimpleFINs.

I've tried a lot of budget apps, and this is the happiest I've been with one in a long time.

hledger is not just a budgeting app, but an accounting app to track your finances, debits/credits, investments, etc.
It does look like it has single-entry accounting with an optional double-entry mode, even if it isn't based on the accounting equation like hledger is:
