      The main draw of Mint for me was how it pulled all transactions from all of my financial institutions. Can GnuCash do that too or is it just a FOSS alternative of QuickBooks?

        No.

        I tried cludging something together with email scraping once but it relied on too many online microservices (zapier etc) and I could never really stabilize it.

        I guess it’s like quickbooks. It can import financial institutions transactions downloads I believe.

        It’s more complicated than just a spreadsheet but not as complicated as regular programming. You will want to learn general accounting practices like double entry bookkeeping to really understand how to use it though.
