## What ynab-import does, in the publisher's words

An Accountant24 plugin that migrates a YNAB (You Need A Budget) Register CSV export into an hledger ledger.

- Scans your YNAB Register CSV and shows what it contains (accounts, categories, payees, date range).
- Builds an account/category mapping together with you: nothing is converted until you approve it.
- Converts the history with a deterministic Python script, handling transfers and split transactions. The app runs it through its bundled uv, so there is nothing to install.
- Wires the generated journal files into the ledger and reconciles opening balances.
- Verifies the result with hledger and reports what was imported.
