hledger is a computer program for easily tracking money, time, or other
|
2011-08-30 15:38:42 +04:00
|
|
|
commodities, inspired by [ledger](http://ledger-cli.org). It is quite
|
|
|
|
|
limited in features, but lightweight and reliable. For some, it is a
|
|
|
|
|
bare-bones, simpler, less expensive alternative to Quicken or GnuCash. It
|
|
|
|
|
is available for free under the GNU General Public License.

hledger aims to help both computer experts and every-day users gain
|
|
|
|
|
clarity in their finances and time management. 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

The [manual](MANUAL.html) and [screenshots](SCREENSHOTS.html) will explain
|
|
|
|
|
more, including
|
|
|
|
|
[differences from ledger](FAQ.html#how-does-hledger-relate-to-ledger). There's
|
|
|
|
|
also a [demo](http://demo.hledger.org) of hledger's web interface. To get
|
|
|
|
|
started tracking your own numbers, [download](DOWNLOAD.html) a copy.
