# 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).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
hledger is first a command-line tool, but also provides a [web interface](http://demo.hledger.org).
 | 
						|
Though limited in features, it is lightweight, usable and reliable.
 | 
						|
For some, it is a simpler, less distracting, less costly alternative to Quicken or GnuCash.
 | 
						|
It is free software available 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
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Read the docs to learn more, including
 | 
						|
[how we are different from ledger](FAQ.html#how-does-hledger-relate-to-ledger),
 | 
						|
and get started tracking your numbers!
