  • Not sure what you are trying to say. There’s little point to simply keeping records in a plaintext file, but that’s not what PTA is about.

    It’s about using plaintext files that can work with various tools, such as ledger, hledger, or beancount, all capable of generating relevant reports and more, all while being able to edit/automate easily because, well, they’re just text files.

    Also, the more automation you do the more you can focus on actual analysing your finances which can help you improve.

    I’m sure every other tools like this can handle automation very well but provided that you are capable of writing scripts and stuff, PTA is much more versatile and it can work for you better.
