<!-- Making accounting fun for techies. -->

hledger is a lightweight accounting program for tracking money, time, or
|
|
other commodities, on unix, mac and windows. With simple yet powerful
|
|
functionality accessed from command line, terminal or web browser, it is a
|
|
reliable, cross-platform alternative to Quicken, GnuCash, spreadsheets etc.
|
|
|
|
**Step 1:** Record your transactions in a plain text file (using any text editor,
|
|
hledger's add command, the web interface, CSV or OFX import, custom scripts..)
|
|
|
|
**Step 2:** Ask hledger about your accounts, currencies, balances,
|
|
monthly averages, market values and more.
|
|
|
|
You can start out very simple, and get more sophisticated as you learn
|
|
more about double-entry accounting. You'll feel closer to your
|
|
finances, and accounting becomes fun. [Try it!](step-by-step.html)
|
|
|
|
<!-- I use it for: -->
|
|
|
|
<!-- - tracking spending and income -->
|
|
<!-- - seeing time reports by day/week/month/project -->
|
|
<!-- - getting accurate numbers for client billing and tax filing -->
|
|
<!-- - tracking invoices -->
|
|
<!-- - building financial and time clarity and serenity -->

### Free software
|
|
|
|
hledger is Free software released under GNU GPLv3+, which helps ensure
|
|
its longevity. It has been developed by
|
|
[Simon Michael](http://joyful.com) and contributors since 2007.
|
|
[](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html)
|
|
</div>

|
|
<div class="indent2">
|
|
### inspired by Ledger
|
|
|
|
hledger is a Haskell reimplementation of the excellent [Ledger](faq.html#hledger-and-ledger).
|
|
It remains substantially compatible with Ledger - if you wish you can keep your data compatible with both -
|
|
and it is part of the enthusiastic and growing *ledger community.
|
|
Read more about the differences in the [FAQ](faq.html#hledger-and-ledger).

### a command-line tool, that respects your data
|
|
|
|
<a href="images/balance-q-inc.png" class="highslide" onclick="return hs.expand(this)"><img src="images/balance-q-inc.png" title="Balance report showing income/expense by quarter" /></a>
|
|
|
|
hledger is first a command-line tool.
|
|
Your data lives in a plain text journal file which you can edit
|
|
any way you wish; hledger reads that file and produces reports of
|
|
various kinds, without changing your data. (It can help you add new
|
|
transactions, but does not change existing ones.)

### a console UI

|
|
hledger also provides a curses-style [console interface](manual#ui)
|
|
that lets you review account balances and transactions with fewer
|
|
keystrokes and less effort.
|
|
<script type="text/javascript" data-t="9" data-autoplay=0 src="https://asciinema.org/a/29665.js" id="asciicast-29665" async></script>

|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="indent2">
|

### a web UI
|
|
|
|
<a href="images/hledger-web/normal/register.png" class="highslide" onclick="return hs.expand(this)"><img src="images/hledger-web/normal/register.png" title="Account register view with accounts sidebar" /></a>
|
|
|
|
hledger comes with a built-in web server providing a
|
|
[web interface](manual.html#web)
|
|
([demo](http://demo.hledger.org)), for assisted data entry and point
|
|
and click reporting. The web and command-line/curses interfaces can be used
|
|
simultaneously.

### a Haskell application and library

|
|
|
|
hledger is written in Haskell, a modern, highly-regarded
|
|
programming language which contributes to hledger's robustness,
|
|
performance and long-term maintainability. Most functionality is
|
|
exposed as
|
|
[reusable](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-lib)
|
|
[Haskell](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger)
|
|
[libraries](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-web), making it
|
|
easy to write your own hledger-compatible
|
|
[scripts](more-docs.html#scripting-examples), [add-ons](manual.html#add-ons) and
|
|
applications.

<!-- ### comfortable for techies, usable by all -->
|
|
|
|
<!-- hledger aims to be useful to both computer experts and regular folks. -->
|
|
<!-- Currently it is a bit more suited to power users, who appreciate the -->
|
|
<!-- power of text files, revision control, scriptability and double entry -->
|
|
<!-- accounting. The web interface helps make it accessible to GUI-only -->

<!-- folk as well. -->

|
|
### focussed on serving users
|
|
|
|
hledger strives to be usable, practical and to provide real-world value.
|
|
Intuitive features, bug-free operation and complete, accurate documentation are top goals.
|
|
Currently it is particularly suited to techies, ie users who appreciate the
|
|
power of text files, revision control, scriptability and double entry
|
|
accounting.
|
|
|
|
I've been using hledger daily and improving it since 2007.
|
|
I needed a tool like this badly, and I want to keep it growing and
|
|
helping others to transform their financial lives.
