## a lightweight, dependable, cross-platform accounting program

hledger is a computer program for easily tracking money, time, or
|
|
other commodities, on unix, mac and windows. With simple yet powerful
|
|
functionality accessed from command line or web browser, it is a
|
|
reliable, lightweight alternative to Quicken or GnuCash. I
|
|
use it for:
|
|
|
|
- tracking spending and income
|
|
- seeing time reports by day/week/month/project
|
|
- getting accurate numbers for client billing and tax filing
|
|
- tracking invoices
|
|
- building financial and time clarity and serenity

### Free software
|
|
|
|
hledger is available under the GNU GPLv3+, which helps ensure that it
|
|
will remain free and available for as long as you need it. It has
|
|
been developed as a community project by
|
|
[Simon Michael](http://joyful.com) and
|
|
[contributors](contributors.html) since 2007.
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="indent2">
|
|
### inspired by Ledger
|
|
|
|
hledger was inspired by and maintains substantial compatibility with [Ledger](faq.html#hledger-and-ledger),
|
|
and is part of the enthusiastic and supportive "*ledger" community.
|
|

### a command-line tool, that respects your data
|
|
|
|
<a href="images/balance-q-inc.png" class="highslide" onclick="return hs.expand(this)"><img src="images/balance-q-inc.png" title="Balance report showing income/expense by quarter" /></a>
|
|
|
|
hledger is first a command-line tool. It follows Ledger's philosophy:
|
|
your data lives in a simple, safe, plain text file which you can edit
|
|
any way you wish; hledger reads that file and produces reports of
|
|
various kinds, without changing your data. (It can help you add new
|
|
transactions, but does not change existing ones.)

### ...with a web UI
|
|

|
<a href="images/hledger-web/normal/register.png" class="highslide" onclick="return hs.expand(this)"><img src="images/hledger-web/normal/register.png" title="Account register view with accounts sidebar" /></a>
|
|
|
|
hledger comes with a built-in web server providing an alternate
|
|
[browser-based interface](manual.html#web)
|
|
([demo](http://demo.hledger.org)), for assisted data entry and point
|
|
and click reporting. The web and command-line clients can be used
|
|
simultaneously. </div>

### a Haskell application and library
|
|
|
|
<a href="images/hledger-lib-api.png" class="highslide" onclick="return hs.expand(this)"><img src="images/hledger-lib-api.png" title="Part of hledger-lib's haddock api documentation" /></a>
|
|
|
|
hledger is written in Haskell, a modern and highly-regarded
|
|
programming language which contributes to hledger's robustness,
|
|
performance and long-term maintainability. Most functionality is
|
|
exposed as reusable Haskell
|
|
[libraries](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-lib), making it
|
|
easy to write your own hledger-compatible
|
|
[scripts](more-docs.html#scripting-examples), [add-ons](manual.html#add-ons) and
|
|
applications.

### documented
|
|
|
|
<!-- <a href="images/manual.png" class="highslide" onclick="return hs.expand(this)"><img src="images/manual.png" title="hledger's manual" /></a> -->
|
|
Complete, accurate documentation is always a top priority.

### comfortable for techies, usable by all
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
folk as well.
|
|
</div>
|
|

|
<div class="indent2">
|
|
### 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.
|
|
I needed a tool like this badly, and I want to keep it growing and helping others who can also benefit.
|
|
You can help!
