Dravik

Dravik is a TUI for hledger, focused on a fast, keyboard-driven workflow for personal accounting. It provides a simple interface to interact with financial data without manual text edits.

You can see more screenshots in screenshots directory in the root of the project.

Main Features:

• Accounts tree
• Transaction list with internal filters (shortcuts for time filters, autocomplete for account path input, etc)
• Historical balance chart
• Balance change chart
• Financial reports: income statement, balance sheet, cash flow
• Account labeling (e.g., label "Electricity" instead of expenses:housing:utilities:electricity)
• Pin accounts on the home page to see their balance
• Currency labels (e.g., label $ instead of USD)

Note: Dravik supports only the hledger features I use. You're welcome to add more. For currency conversion, I use the equity method, so only that is supported.
Tested hledger version: 1.32

📦 Installation

Recommended: Install via UV

Dravik can be installed using uv, a fast Rust-based package manager that automatically handles dependencies, including Python.

# Install uv (package manager):
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Restart your terminal or run:
source $HOME/.local/bin/env

# Install python 3.13 if you don't have it already
uv python install 3.13

# Install Dravik
uv tool install --python 3.13 dravik

Now you can start using Dravik with:

dravik-init  # Initialize configuration files
dravik       # Start Dravik

Alternative: Install via Pip

First make sure you have Python 3.13 and then install the package with your Python package manager (pip, etc)

pip install dravik

However, uv is the recommended method due to its speed and dependency management.

⚙️ Configuration

After the initial setup, Dravik creates a config file at ~/.config/dravik/config.json. Below is an example:

{
    "ledger": "/home/user/hledger/2025.ledger",
    "account_labels": {
        "assets:bank": "Banks",
        "assets:binance": "Binance",
        "assets:bank:revolut": "Revolut",
        "assets:bank:sparkasse": "Sparkasse",
        "assets:bank:paypal": "PayPal",
        "assets:cash": "Cash"
    },
    "currency_labels": {
        "USDT": "₮",
        "EUR": "€"
    },
    "pinned_accounts": [
        {"account": "assets:bank", "color": "#2F4F4F"},
        {"account": "assets:cash", "color": "#8B4513"},
        {"account": "assets:binance", "color": "#556B2F"}
    ]
}

Note: If ledger is set to null, Dravik will use hledger's default file.

Note: Dravik does not install hledger automatically. You must install and configure it separately.
