Overview

Fava is a web interface for Beancount, the plain text double entry accounting system. It turns a text ledger into an interactive financial dashboard: balance sheets and income statements, a net worth chart, holdings and commodities, an interactive journal, and a powerful query editor for exploring your books.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg ships Fava behind an nginx reverse proxy with a unique HTTP Basic Auth password generated on first boot and no default login, so it is never exposed unauthenticated. A populated example ledger is included so the dashboard is ready to explore, backed by a paired deploy guide and 24/7 support.

Common uses

  • Personal finance dashboards
  • Double entry bookkeeping
  • Financial reporting and queries
