At a glance

What it is
A budget and expense tracker for iPhone, iPad and Android. You add each transaction yourself, or write a recurring rule that adds it for you.
The main number
Safe to spend today. It is what you have left, minus what still has to go out, divided by the days left in the period. The figures it comes from are shown under it.
Platforms
iPhone and iPad on iOS 15 or later, and Android phones. There is no web or desktop version.
Languages
English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
Bank connection
None. There is no bank login, no automatic import and no automatic categorisation.
Sign-up
None. The app works without an account.
Price
Paid. You can record 20 transactions to try it, and the 7 day free trial starts when you choose. After that you pay monthly, yearly or once. Each store sets the price for your country, and the app shows it.
If you stop paying
Reading, searching, exporting and backup keep working. Only recording new transactions stops.
Made by
Jineo Technologies, a limited liability company registered in the United States.

Your data

Where it is kept
In a file on your phone. No Ledgerly server holds a copy, and nothing is uploaded unless you switch on backup.
Backup
Off until you switch it on. Then the copy goes to your own Google Drive, to iCloud on iOS, or to a file you keep.
What the app sends
Crash reports, and a few events such as which setup step was reached, go to Sentry. They are built to leave out amounts, categories and anything you type, and you can turn them off. RevenueCat checks purchases. There are no ads and no advertising identifier.
Export
The transactions of one budget, over the dates you choose, as a CSV file that opens in any spreadsheet. It works with or without a subscription.
New phone
Restore a backup on the new phone. Your purchase belongs to your App Store or Google Play account, and Restore brings it back.
App lock
A passcode, and biometrics where the phone supports them.

  • Keeps more than one budget, with a switcher between them.
  • Shows a review of each period when it ends.
  • Tracks accounts, transfers between them, and net worth. An account can be left out of net worth.
  • Adds rent, salary and subscriptions for you, from recurring rules you write.
  • Searches every transaction by note, category or amount, with filters by category and account.

  • Works in any of 165 currencies. You pick one, and the app does not convert between them.
  • Sends a daily reminder, budget warnings and a weekly summary, if you want them.
  • Has light, dark and system themes.

What it does not do

  • Connect to a bank, or import transactions on its own.

  • Share a budget between two people, or keep two phones in step.
  • Convert between currencies.
