hledger
lightweight, portable, dependable accounting tools
hledger is a computer program for easily tracking money, time, or other commodities, on unix, mac and windows. It was inspired by and maintains substantial compatibility with Ledger. hledger is first a command-line tool, but there is also a web interface, and a Haskell library for building your own programs and scripts (hledger is written in Haskell). hledger is free software, available under the GNU GPLv3+, created by Simon Michael and contributors.
Though limited in features, hledger is lightweight, usable and reliable. For some, it is a simple, flexible, future-proof alternative to Quicken or GnuCash. It 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've been using (and improving) it since 2007 to:
- track spending and income
- see time reports by day/week/month/project
- get accurate numbers for client billing and tax filing
- track invoices
To get started, you could download, read the tutorial, or join the IRC channel and ask questions.
