hledger
=======

hledger is a computer program for easily tracking money, time, or other
commodities, using standard accounting principles. It is quite limited in
features, but reliable.  For some, it is a bare-bones, less complex, less
expensive alternative to Quicken or Microsoft Money.

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

Here is a **demo_** of the web interface.

Here is the **manual_**.
For support and more technical info, see **`hledger for techies`_** or **`email me`_**.

Download and try **`hledger for mac`_**, **`hledger for windows`_**, or **hledger for linux (`32 bit intel`_, `64 bit intel`_)**.
