Frappe Books0.36.0

Frappe Books lets small businesses and freelancers record income, manage expenses, and create invoices from a desktop accounting workspace. It brings everyday bookkeeping into one modern interface, helping owners keep financial records current while they sell goods, purchase assets, and review business performance.

Invoice creation is designed around speed: press Ctrl-K from anywhere, type a command such as “create sales” or a partial match, and press Enter to open the invoice form. Tab moves through the fields, while the application fills in the remaining details as you work, reducing the navigation and repetitive data entry found in many accounting programs.

Users can shape invoices with the built-in Template Builder, using HTML knowledge to control their appearance instead of choosing only from fixed layouts. Several ready-made templates are included for immediate use or adaptation, and accounting reports include Profit and Loss, General Ledger, and Balance Sheet views for examining earnings, transactions, and cash position.

Frappe Books is a desktop-first application in the Finance & Shopping category, distributed as freeware and open-source software. Version 0.36.0 targets MacOS on Apple Silicon (arm64), so it suits freelancers and small businesses using compatible Apple hardware.
