📄
Plain Text, Always
Your data lives in .ledger files. Git them, grep them, open them in vim. They'll outlast any app, including this one.

AI That Suggests, Not Decides
The AI bookkeeper helps you budget, suggests journal entries for your transactions, and will help you analyze your spending patterns. Every single write requires your explicit approval. It never touches your data without asking.
🔒
Local-first
Runs on your machine. No logins, no sync, no cloud, no subscriptions. Your data lives in a simple text file on your machine. You can open it in any text editor, git-track it, and backup it anywhere.
📊
hledger as Truth
Every number comes from running hledger directly. The UI is a beautiful wrapper — the math is always hledger's math, not ours.

CSV Import Flow
Drag in your Checking, Credit Card, or any financial CSV. Ledger-A matches patterns, suggests categories, and queues everything for review before a single line is written.
🏡
Built for Accounting Nerds
Track home equity, 529s, brokerage, vehicles, and everyday spending in one place. Net worth as a number, not a marketing pitch.
"The human is always in control. The AI only suggests. Every write requires explicit approval."
01
You own your data. Plain text files in a folder you control. No export needed — it was always yours.
02
No lock-in, ever. If Ledger-A disappears tomorrow, your ledger files work in any hledger client, forever.
03
Math from hledger, display from us. We render it beautifully. We never override it.
04
No gamification. No streaks. No scores. No "good job" banners. Just clear, honest numbers.

Your ledger.
Your machine.

No account required. Just download and run.
