hledger has represented quantities with floating point (Double) until now. While this has been working fine in practice, the time has come to upgrade our number representation to something more principled: Decimal, for now. As a bonus, this brings a ~30% speed boost to most reports. We'll keep the old representation(s) around for a while, selectable via hledger-lib cabal flag, for research/testing/benchmarking purposes. To build with the old Double representation: cabal install -fdouble hledger-lib hledger hledger-web |

hledger
lightweight, portable, dependable accounting tools
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).
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 Ledger. hledger is free software available under the GNU General Public License v3+.
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
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.
