hledger

hledger is a computer program for easily tracking money, time, or other commodities, using standard accounting principles. It is quite limited in features, but reliable. For some, it is a bare-bones, less complex, less expensive alternative to Quicken or Microsoft Money.

hledger aims to help both computer experts and every-day users gain clarity in their finances and time management. 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

Here is a demo_ of the web interface.

Here is the manual_. For support and more technical info, see hledger for techies_ or email me_.

Download and try hledger for mac_, hledger for windows_, or hledger for linux (32 bit intel, 64 bit intel).
