summary
Used Python toolchain replaces spreadsheets and Quicken by storing transactions as human-readable Beancount plaintext files under version control, using double-entry accounting so all postings sum to zero and a balance directive forces reconciliation on a date. The Beancount API and Beancount Query Language let scripts extract balances, monthly expenses, trades and P/L for investments, and Fava provides a web UI with tables, charts, and plugin hooks—an envelope-budgeting Fava plugin is in progress on GitHub.
