# hledger
|
|
|
|
## lightweight, portable, dependable accounting tools
|
|
|
|
hledger is a computer program for easily tracking money, time, or other commodities,
|
|
on unix, mac and windows.
|
|
|
|
It is first a command-line tool, but there is also a [web interface](manual.html#web)
|
|
and a [Haskell library](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-lib) for
|
|
building your own programs and [scripts](more-docs.html#scripting-examples)
|
|
(hledger is written in Haskell).
|
|
hledger was inspired by and is largely compatible with [Ledger](faq.html#hledger-and-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.
