hledger for techies
===================
hledger_ is a remix, in haskell_, of John Wiegley's excellent ledger_ accounting tool.
It reads a plain text `ledger file`_ or timelog_ describing your transactions
and displays reports via `command line`_, curses_ or `web interface`_ (click for a demo).
The hledger project aims to produce:
- a practical, accessible, dependable tool for end users
- a useful library and toolbox for finance-minded haskell programmers
- a successful, time-and-money-solvent project within a thriving ecosystem of financial software projects.
hledger is free software by `Simon Michael`_ & `co.`_, released under GNU GPLv3.

hledger User's Guide hledger manual
==================== ==============
hledger is an accounting tool, similar to and inspired by John Wiegley's This is the official hledger manual. You may also want to visit
"ledger" project. If you haven't already, see also hledger's home page at the http://hledger.org home page,
http://hledger.org . the `hledger for techies`_ page,
and possibly `c++ ledger's manual`_ for background.
Introduction
------------
hledger is an accounting tool for tracking money, time, or other commodities using standard accounting principles.
It was inspired by John Wiegley's "ledger" project, which I used and admired.
I wrote hledger because I wanted to build financial tools in the Haskell
programming language rather than C++.
hledger's most basic function is to generate register and balance reports
from a plain text ledger file, at the command line or via the web or
curses interface. You can use it to, eg,
- track spending and income
- see time reports by day/week/month/project
- get accurate numbers for client billing and tax filing
- find unpaid invoices
hledger aims to help both computer experts and every-day users gain clarity in their finances and time management.
For now though, it is most useful to technically-minded folks who are comfortable with command-line tools.
hledger is copyright (c) 2007-2009 Simon Michael <simon@joyful.com> and hledger is copyright (c) 2007-2009 Simon Michael <simon@joyful.com> and
