With powerful, intuitive functionality accessible from command line, terminal or web browser,
hledger is a fast, secure, dependable alternative to spreadsheets, Quickbooks, GnuCash, Xero etc.
The hledger project is led by Simon Michael.
I've been building and relying on hledger since 2007.
I hope you find it helpful in mastering your time and money.
Welcome to the project!
