hledger is a lightweight accounting program for tracking money, time, or
other commodities, on unix, mac and windows. With simple yet powerful
functionality accessed from command line, terminal or web browser, it is a
reliable, cross-platform alternative to Quicken, GnuCash, spreadsheets etc.
**Step 1:** Record your transactions in a plain text file (using any text editor,
hledger's add command, the web interface, CSV or OFX import, custom scripts..)
**Step 2:** Run hledger to analyze and report your accounts, currencies,
balances, monthly averages, market values and more.
You can start out very simple, and get more sophisticated as you learn
more about double-entry accounting. You'll feel closer to your
finances, and accounting becomes fun. [Try it!](step-by-step.html)

Currently it is particularly suited to power users who appreciate the
Intuitive features, bug-free operation and complete, accurate documentation are top goals.
Currently it is particularly suited to techies, ie users who appreciate the
power of text files, revision control, scriptability and double entry
accounting.
I've been using it daily and improving it since 2007.
I needed a tool like this badly, and I want to keep it growing and helping others gain financial clarity and control.
