GnuCash and Mobile Devices

GnuCash itself is not available on mobile platforms, but there are some independently-developed mobile apps that can work with GnuCash. Few write directly to your file and those that do support only the SQLite3 backend. They don't use the GnuCash engine, generating their own SQL queries instead. That runs the risk that they'll get something wrong or that we'll change the SQL Schema in some way that breaks their implementation, so users are advised to test thoroughly on a scratch file before using them with production data and monitoring them carefully.

Those that don't read and write the database directly operate with file exports and imports: You export your GnuCash book to CSV, the app reads it, you make changes in the app then export the changes as one of the file types GnuCash can import.

Most, but not all, are Free, Open Source software. If that's something that matters to you pay close attention to the applications' licenses, terms and conditions, and privacy policies.
