## What it is
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
