What it does

Everything Ledger gives you

📄

You own the file

Your books are a SQLite file on your computer — no account, no internet required.

🧾

Invoice & expense

Raise invoices and record expenses with deterministic, integer-precise money math.

🌍

Tax rates you define

VAT 7%, GST 10%, PPN 11% — jurisdiction-agnostic, computed from rates you set.

💱

Multi-currency

Each client or invoice can use its own currency with a manual rate to your base.

🤖

Agent-drivable (MCP)

An MCP server lets Claude Code or Codex keep the books by natural-language command.

🆓

Free & local

The app is free and fully local; an optional pay-as-you-go cloud comes later.
