It has the same structure as most of the other add-ons here:
- implemented as a stack script for robustness
- includes command line help
- provides command line help

Further cleanup and documentation is ongoing.

**Add-on commands:**
Programs or scripts named `hledger-SOMETHING` in your PATH are
[add-on commands](#about-add-on-commands); these appear in the
[add-on commands](#add-on-commands); these appear in the
commands list with a `+` mark.
Two of these are maintained and released with hledger:
The following add-on commands can be installed, eg by the
[hledger-install script](https://hledger.org/install.html#with-hledger-install):
- **[ui](hledger-ui.html)** - an efficient terminal interface (TUI) for hledger
- **[web](hledger-web.html)** - a simple web interface (WUI) for hledger
And these add-ons are maintained separately:
- [iadd](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-iadd) - a more interactive alternative for the add command
- [interest](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-interest) - generates interest transactions according to various schemes
- [stockquotes](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-stockquotes) - downloads market prices for your commodities from AlphaVantage *(experimental)*
