hledger is a computer program for easily tracking money, time, or other
commodities, inspired by and compatible with [ledger](http://ledger-cli.org).
hledger is a computer program for easily tracking money, time, or other commodities,
on unix, mac and windows (and web-capable mobile devices, to some extent).
hledger is first a command-line tool, but also provides a [web interface](http://demo.hledger.org).
Though limited in features, it is lightweight, usable and reliable.
For some, it is a simpler, less distracting, less costly alternative to Quicken or GnuCash.
It is free software available under the GNU General Public License.
It is first a command-line tool, but there is also a web interface
and a Haskell library (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-lib) for
building your own programs and scripts (hledger is written in Haskell).
hledger was inspired by and is largely compatible with [[FAQ#hledger-and-ledger|Ledger]].
hledger is free software available under the GNU General Public License v3+.
hledger aims to help both computer experts and regular folks gain clarity

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
Read the docs to learn more, including
[how we are different from ledger](FAQ.html#how-does-hledger-relate-to-ledger),
and get started tracking your numbers!
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.
