Paisa is a self-hosted personal finance manager that provides a web/desktop GUI on top of the ledger plain-text double-entry accounting tool. It stores all financial data in plain text journal files and offers budgeting, investment price tracking, CSV/Excel/PDF import, and rich visualizations.

Use cases

• track personal expenses with double-entry accounting
• visualize my ledger journal in a web UI
• import bank CSV and PDF statements into ledger format
• track stock and mutual fund portfolio prices
• budget and plan retirement goals
• self-host a private finance tracker that keeps data local

When to choose

• you already use or want plain-text accounting with ledger/hledger/beancount
• you want a GUI over ledger without leaving plain text files
• privacy matters and data must stay on your machine
• you want investment, budget, and goal tracking with charts

When to avoid

• you want a hosted multi-user accounting service
• you prefer automatic bank syncing over manual/imported transactions
• you are uncomfortable editing text journal files at all
