About Ledgerly — Expense Manager

Log an expense in one line, then get reports that actually explain where your money went. ━━ ONE LINE, ONE KEYSTROKE ━━ Most expense trackers make you fill in a form.

Ledgerly reads the amount, the category, the date and the payment method out of what you wrote, and shows you exactly what it understood before it saves — so it never guesses wrong behind your back. ━━ WHAT YOU GET ━━ • EXPENSES & INCOME — 17 sensible categories to start with, then add your own with hand-picked colors and icons. • BUDGETS WITH ALERTS — Set a monthly cap on everything or on one category. Get a notification when you cross your warning threshold, and again if you go over. No nagging in between. • DEBTS — Track loans and IOUs in both directions. Log repayments and they appear in your normal cashflow reports, because a loan repayment is real money leaving your account. Debts settle themselves when the balance reaches zero. • RECURRING TRANSACTIONS — Set rent or salary once.
