About:
Fava is a web-based user interface for Beancount, a text-based double-entry bookkeeping system. It provides an interactive dashboard to visualize financial data, inspect account balances, and analyze expenses over time. The tool simplifies financial tracking by offering a modern UI that runs locally, supporting powerful filtering and reporting capabilities.
Key Features:
  • Interactive web interface for Beancount
  • Real-time filtering and search across transactions
  • Visualization of income, expenses, and net worth
  • Built-in editor for ledger files
  • Support for budgeting and reporting
Use Cases:
  • Personal finance tracking and budgeting
  • Small business bookkeeping
  • Analyzing spending habits and financial trends
Alternatives:
  • hledger-ui – Terminal-based UI for hledger; lighter weight but lacks web interface.
  • GnuCash – Traditional double-entry desktop app; GUI-based rather than text files.
