About hledger
hledger is plain text accounting software for tracking money, investments, cryptocurrencies, time and other countable items. Transactions are recorded in a human-readable plain text journal file that the user controls.
Data can be entered with a text editor or a UI, or imported from banks and other places, and can be used alongside version control, scripts and LLMs. From the journal file, hledger produces reports such as account registers, balance sheets and income statements, with support for multiple input and output formats.
