Why rustfava?

Install

Desktop App

Download the latest release for your platform from the Releases page.

Platform	Format
macOS	`.dmg` (Intel & Apple Silicon)
Windows	`.exe` installer or `.msi`
Linux	`.AppImage`, `.deb`, `.rpm`, or `.tar.gz`

Engine: rustfava runs the rustledger engine as an in-process WebAssembly component, so the wasmtime Python package ships as a dependency and works out of the box — no separate install needed.

Other Installation Methods

Method	Command
Docker (amd64/arm64)	`docker run -p 5000:5000 -v /path/to/ledger:/data ghcr.io/rustledger/rustfava /data/main.beancount`
PyPI	`uv tool install rustfava` (requires Python 3.13+; the `wasmtime` runtime is installed automatically)
Nix	`nix run github:rustledger/rustfava#desktop`

Quick Start

Desktop App

Download the app for your platform
Double-click to launch
Open your .beancount file

Command Line

rustfava ledger.beancount
# Then visit http://localhost:5000

What is this?

rustfava is a fork of Fava that replaces the Python beancount parser with rustledger, compiled to WebAssembly for faster parsing and processing.

The desktop app bundles everything into a native application using Tauri, so you get a fast, lightweight app with no dependencies.
