hledger for techies

hledger is a remix, in haskell, of John Wiegley's excellent ledger accounting tool. It reads a plain text ledger file or timelog describing your transactions and displays reports via command line, curses or web interface (click for a demo).

The hledger project aims to produce:

• a practical, accessible, dependable tool for end users
• a useful library and toolbox for finance-minded haskell programmers
• a successful, time-and-money-solvent project within a thriving ecosystem of financial software projects.

hledger is free software by Simon Michael & co., released under GNU GPLv3.
