About
hledger is open-source, command-line accounting software that uses human-readable plain text journal files to track money, investments, cryptocurrencies, time, or any countable commodity. It supports importing CSV from banks, offers web and terminal interfaces, and generates powerful financial reports. It integrates well with version control, scripts, and other developer tools.
Problem
Managing personal or business finances in a transparent, version-controllable, and fully user-controlled way without relying on proprietary software.
For
individuals and developers who prefer plain text tools for personal or small-business accounting
How it works
Users record transactions in a plain text journal file using a simple format, and hledger parses that file to generate balance sheets, income statements, and other financial reports via CLI, web UI, or terminal interfaces.
