hledger

Friendly, robust, plain text accounting.

hledger is an 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 dependable, cross-platform alternative to Quickbooks, GnuCash, spreadsheets etc.

The hledger project is led by Simon Michael. Ive been using and improving hledger since 2007. I hope it will keep growing and helping more of us to master our time and money. If you feel the same way, join us!
