# hledger
|
|
|
|
hledger is a computer program for easily tracking money, time, or
|
|
other commodities, using standard accounting principles. It is
|
|
quite limited in features, but reliable. For some, it is a
|
|
bare-bones, less complex, less expensive alternative to Quicken or
|
|
Microsoft Money. hledger is available for free under the GNU
|
|
General Public License.
|
|
|
|
hledger aims to help both computer experts and every-day users gain
|
|
clarity in their finances and time management. I use it every day
|
|
to:
|
|
|
|
- track spending and income
|
|
- see time reports by day/week/month/project
|
|
- get accurate numbers for client billing and tax filing
|
|
- track invoices
|
|
|
|
The [manual](MANUAL.html) and [screenshots](SCREENSHOTS.html) will
|
|
explain more. There's also a [demo](http://demo.hledger.org) of
|
|
hledger's web interface. To get started tracking your own numbers,
|
|
[download](DOWNLOAD.html) a copy.
|
|
|
|
For support and more technical info, see
|
|
[development](DEVELOPMENT.html) or
|

[email me](mailto:simon@joyful.com?subject=hledger:). I appreciate
|
|
feedback on all aspects of hledger. Thanks!
