About:
Ledger is a powerful, double-entry accounting system that runs from the command line. It allows users to track finances using plain text data files, offering a lightweight yet highly accurate way to manage complex financial records without a graphical interface.
Key Features:
  • Command-line interface for speed and scriptability
  • Plain text data storage for version control and portability
  • Powerful query language for generating reports
  • Supports binary, text, and XML output formats
Use Cases:
  • Personal finance tracking via CLI
  • Automated financial reporting via scripts
  • Tracking complex investment portfolios
Alternatives:
  • hledger – Haskell-based implementation with similar features but stricter parsing
  • beancount – Python-based alternative with a focus on plugin extensibility
