Clear reports

Spending, income, net worth, cash flow, investments, unpaid invoices and more. Export any report to a spreadsheet or PDF.

Know where your business stands.

Send an invoice, record the payment, and Ledgerly puts the income on the right tax line automatically. Track it all even if business and personal money share one bank account.

  • Who owes you, and how late
  • Suggested quarterly tax payments
Taxes

Schedule C and E, already sorted.

Categories map to IRS form lines, including your mileage deduction, so tax time takes minutes instead of weekends.

Ledgerly helps you prepare. It isn't tax advice.

Private by design

Your finances stay on your computer.

Ledgerly isn't a website and doesn't need one. After you download it, everything happens on your own computer, even with the internet unplugged.

Your account lives on your computer

When you first open Ledgerly you create your account with a password. There's no sign-up, email or server. You also get a recovery key in case you ever forget your password.

Locked with strong encryption

Your whole data file is encrypted with AES-256 and your password. Ledgerly locks itself when you step away, and daily backups are encrypted too.

No internet needed. Ever.

The app blocks its own internet access. The only exception is an optional AI assistant that's off unless you choose to turn it on.

Switching from Quicken?

Bring your history with you.

Export from Quicken for Windows (QIF) or Quicken for Mac (CSV), or just drag the file onto Ledgerly. Your accounts, categories, tags, splits, transfers and investments come across, and your balances match to the penny.

  • Finds your Quicken files for you
  • Business and rental tags carry over
  • Works even if your Quicken subscription has ended

Questions

Frequently asked

Is there a subscription?

No. Ledgerly Free is free forever. Ledgerly Pro is a one-time purchase: you get an activation key by email and Pro is unlocked for good. There are no monthly fees, and nothing locks you out of your own data.

How does activation work without the internet?

Your key carries a digital signature that Ledgerly checks on your computer, so it never needs to contact a server. If you reinstall or get a new computer, enter the same key again.

Do I need the internet to use it?

Only to download it. After that Ledgerly works completely offline. Updates are optional: download the new version from this page whenever you like, and your data is kept.

Where is my data stored? Can anyone else see it?

In one encrypted file on your computer. We never receive it, and there's no cloud copy. Without your password (or recovery key), the file can't be read.

What if I forget my password?

Use the recovery key you saved during setup. Keep it somewhere safe, because nobody, including us, can reset your password for you.

Can I move my data to a new computer?

Yes. In Ledgerly, choose Settings → Backup & data → Back up now. Install Ledgerly on the new computer and choose “Restore from a Ledgerly backup”.

Does it connect to my bank automatically?

No, and that's on purpose: automatic bank syncing means sharing your bank login with an outside service. Instead, download a CSV, QFX or QIF file from your bank's website and import it. Ledgerly categorizes it for you and skips duplicates.

What is the optional AI assistant?

If you choose to turn it on (Settings → AI), you can ask questions like “Where could I cut back?” It uses Claude by Anthropic with your own API key and needs the internet. When you ask something, the parts of your data needed to answer are sent to Anthropic. It's off by default, and the built-in learning features work without it.

Windows or Mac warned me about the download. Is it safe?

Windows SmartScreen and macOS Gatekeeper warn about apps they don't recognize yet. On Windows click More info → Run anyway. On a Mac, try to open Ledgerly once and click Done, then open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway (on older macOS you can instead right-click the app and choose Open). You can check your download against the SHA256SUMS file on the release page.
