Is GnuCash good for personal finance?

To make a budget in GnuCash:

• Go to Tools → Budget.
• Click New Budget and name it.
• Add income and expense categories.
• Enter the amounts you plan for each category.
• You can compare your budget to actual transactions over time using reports.

GnuCash supports bank account integration in a limited, non-real-time way. Users can upload their bank transactions by importing OFX, QIF, or CSV files. In certain cases, GnuCash can fetch data directly from supported banks, but it still doesn’t offer live syncing like modern online banking apps

Yes, GnuCash is able to print checks. You can customise check layouts and print them on blank or pre-printed check paper.

GnuCash does not link directly to your bank like online apps.

To track your bank account, you need to:

• Export your bank transactions as OFX, QIF, or CSV files.
• Import these files into GnuCash.
• Match transactions manually to keep your accounts accurate

This does not have anything to do with GnuCash. In order to get international payments with GCash, you would normally be required to use a service such as PayPal, Wise, or remittance service and then send the money into your GCash wallet.
