hledger
Robust plain text accounting.
hledger is an accounting
program, for tracking money, time, or other commodities. It is cross
platform and released under GNU GPLv3.
With powerful, intuitive functionality accessible from command line, terminal or web browser, hledger is a fast, secure, dependable alternative to spreadsheets, Quickbooks, GnuCash, Xero etc.
The hledger project is led by Simon Michael. I’ve been building and relying on hledger since 2007. I hope you find it helpful in mastering your time and money. Welcome to the project!
