The register screen is now like the register view in hledger-web (and other accounting systems), rather than hledger's register command. This means: - it shows transactions affecting a particular current account, rather than postings matching a pattern. - Each line represents a whole transaction. - The account field shows the *other* account being transacted with. When there is more than one, they are all listed, abbreviated and marked with "(split)". - The amount field shows the effect of the transaction on the current account; positive for an inflow to this account, negative for an outflow. - The balance field should usually show the current account's historic balance as of the transaction date, even when you change the report start date. (Not working yet - currently it always shows the running total). - Transactions are listed most recent first, currently. |

hledger
lightweight, portable, dependable accounting tools
hledger is a computer program for easily tracking money, time, or other commodities, on unix, mac and windows (and web-capable mobile devices, to some extent).
It is first a command-line tool, but there are also curses-style and web interfaces, and a Haskell library (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-lib) for building your own programs and scripts (hledger is written in Haskell). hledger was inspired by and is largely compatible with Ledger. hledger is free software available under the GNU General Public License v3+.
hledger aims to help both computer experts and regular folks to gain clarity and control in their finances and time management, but currently it is a bit 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
Though limited in features, hledger is lightweight, usable and reliable. For some, it is a simpler, less distracting, more future-proof alternative to Quicken or GnuCash.
