# hledger
|
|
|
|
## command-line and web accounting tools
|
|
|
|
hledger is a computer program for easily tracking money, time, or other
|
|
commodities, inspired by and compatible with [ledger](http://ledger-cli.org). It is quite
|
|
limited in features, but lightweight and reliable. For some, it is a
|
|
bare-bones, simpler, less expensive alternative to Quicken or GnuCash. It
|
|
is available for free under the GNU General Public License.
|
|
|
|
hledger aims to help both computer experts and regular folks gain clarity
|
|
in their finances and time management, but currently it is a little more
|
|
suited to techies. 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
|
|
|
|
hledger is first a command-line tool, but also provides a web
|
|
interface (try the [hledger-web demo](http://demo.hledger.org)). Read
|
|
the [documentation](DOCS.html) to learn more, including
|
|
[how we are different from ledger](FAQ.html#how-does-hledger-relate-to-ledger),
|
|
and get started tracking your numbers!
