depending on your level of nerdery, check out https://github.com/beancount/beancount . It's double entry accounting in plain text files. The thing. I like about it is it makes asset conversions really easy, which means you can easily make queries like "how much did I spend on coffee last month in Bitcoin terms"?

Yep thanks for suggesting. I did look on to it and also saw how it was clearly superior to gnucash in terms of handling btc as just another day to day currency. But accounting through CLI is just a bit too much for me.

Might be worth a look through their docs. You may find a bit of workflow that you can lift to GnuCash. GnuCash is awesome, I used it for a while a few years ago but it really is a power tool. I found that you need to really know what you want out of it to maximize its utility
