Sage uses a ledger (plain text accounting) file, some simple JSON-encoded files, and an hledger rules file.
You won't need to know about these files to use Sage. However, if you're a power-user, then these formats may come in handy.
The ledger will store all of your transactions in plain text so you can easily read it with any text editor. It also supports several other tools that can generate reports based on your ledger.
Warning: Some banks, like Bank of America, may charge a fee for downloading transactions. While this is uncommon, we are not responsible for these charges. Do your homework if you want to be certain these charges won't apply to you.
The rules file is a format designed by the hledger project for importing CSVs. This file will help Sage automatically categorize incoming transactions into the appropriate accounts for your ledger. After a transaction has been imported, it is assigned an account (category) from this file. To follow convention, only include rules to change the account2 field or a comment. While changing account1 is supported, it will likely cause problems with Sage since account1 is assumed to be the source institution of the transaction.
Currently, the web UI only supports account2.
Sage relies on aclindsa/ofxgo for it's excellent Go implementation of the OFX spec.
