Simple Home Accounting

Build Status

This project aims to simplify everyone's day-to-day accounting. It provides a simple web based serverless application.

For years I have use complex or closed source sofwares to do this simple task. I wanted :

  • to do my accounting quickly and everywhere
  • to be independant of my bank application or any of the commercial apps
  • to use an uber simple and long-lasting file format that I could open in 20 years from now

One day I came across ledger, a cool text file format quite popular among the geek community. It is part of what we call plain text accounting. I decided to write a UI on top of it and voilà :)

Features

The current version is raw and full of small bugs. Mainly because it just suits my needs :D

  • Import any of your existing .ledger, .ofx, .gnucash files
  • Add / edit / remove transactions
  • Export your transactions as a .ledger file
  • [Soon] Generate charts to get some statistics

If you're curious, you can check the backlog.

Test it

A running version of the app is hosted here. I personally use it to do my accounting.
You can use it too and any feedback would be kindly appreciated !
