hledger
lightweight, portable, dependable accounting tools
hledger is a computer program for easily tracking money, time, or other commodities, on unix, mac and windows. It was inspired by and maintains substantial compatibility with Ledger. hledger is first a command-line tool, but there is also a web interface, and a Haskell library for building your own programs and scripts (hledger is written in Haskell). hledger is free software, available under the GNU GPLv3+, created by Simon Michael and contributors.
hledger aims to help both computer experts and regular folks gain more clarity and control over their time and money (but currently it is a bit more suited to techies). Despite its limited GUI, hledger is usable, capable and reliable. For some of us, it is a simple, flexible, future-proof alternative to Quicken or GnuCash. I’ve been using and improving it continuously since 2007, using it to:
- track spending and income
- see time reports by day/week/month/project
- get accurate numbers for client billing and tax filing
- track invoices
To get started, you could download, read the tutorial, or join the IRC channel and ask questions.
