{\tt hledger} is a set of cross-platform tools (and Haskell libraries) for
tracking money, time, or any other commodity, using double-entry accounting
and a simple future-proof text file format.

It is an enhanced, well-documented reimplementation of plain text accounting
in Haskell, inspired by John Wiegley's Ledger program.

{\tt hledger} aims to be a reliable and practical tool for daily use, and
provides command-line, curses-style, and web interfaces.

{\tt hledger} is released under GNU GPLv3+.

Project activity has been continuous since our last update in November 2016.
