Take your books to the
command line
bitwave is the agent-first accounting platform. AI agents and humans keep complete, auditable, double-entry books through one CLI — run locally as plain text, or share in the Bitwave cloud. Free and open source.
Your entire accounting workflow
Workspaces, journals, balance-checked entries, accounts, prices, expense
reports, and the full ledger-style report suite — bal,
reg, equity, stats, CSV export — from
one binary with no dependencies.
Built for agents
Every command is non-interactive, every output is parseable, and every
write must balance before it lands. Agents authenticate with
BITWAVE_AGENT_TOKEN, see their operating context in a one-line
banner, and leave a replayable, diffable audit trail behind.
Local or cloud, same surface
Books live in a directory of plain-text journal files — diff them, blame
them, commit them. When more than one person (or agent) needs the books,
the same commands run against a shared workspace in the Bitwave cloud.
Flip one TOML field to switch; bitwave migrate moves you.
We ♥ plain-text accounting
bitwave speaks the same journal grammar as hledger,
ledger, and (with a shim) beancount — every other
tool in the ecosystem can read, audit, and report on your books. The
engine is open source under MPL-2.0; the CLI is AGPL-3.0 and ready for
your contributions.
Crypto accounting that reconciles to the chain
Manage EVM wallets inside the workspace — locally-custodied for
signing, or watch-only for cold storage and exchange addresses.
bitwave wallets sync turns on-chain history into balanced
journal entries: every transfer, every token (even ones bitwave has
never seen), and gas as its own expense posting. Entries land pending
(!) and auto-clear (*) once confirmations
pass, and wallets send books the spend the moment it's
signed — so your books and the chain never disagree.
