hledger aims to be useful to both computer experts and regular folks.
Currently it is a bit more suited to power users, who appreciate the
power of text files, revision control, scriptability and double entry
accounting. The web interface helps make it accessible to GUI-only

### focussed on serving the user
hledger strives to be usable, practical and to provide real-world value.
I've been depending on it and improving it since 2007.
Currently it is particularly suited to power 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.
