# hledger
|
|
|
|
hledger is a computer program for easily tracking money, time, or other
|
|
commodities, inspired by [ledger](MANUAL.html#faq). 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 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!
