Ledgerward brings every way your household moves money into one honest plan—without sending your financial life somewhere else.
After every card purchase and funded commitment,
how much money is truly free to use?One household, one source of truth
Ledgerward connects everyday budgeting to durable accounting, so clarity today never comes at the cost of history tomorrow.
Evidence first
Bring in Chase exports or map your own CSV format. Ledgerward preserves the source, catches overlap, and asks before anything becomes accounting.
One honest budget
Checking, savings, cash, credit cards, loans, and HELOCs share one payment-method-neutral plan. Envelopes track purpose—not the plastic used.
A clearer horizon
Recurring income, bills, projects, targets, and buffers become a dated cash outlook. Forecasts stay projections until real activity arrives.
Trust is a product feature
Financial software should be able to explain itself. Ledgerward keeps original evidence, confirmed accounting, and planning choices distinct—then connects them without rewriting the past.
Read the product documentationEvery confirmed event is represented once in a double-entry ledger.
Suggestions explain themselves. Your choices remain separate from source evidence.
Encrypted archives and human-readable exports keep ownership with the household.
Core budgeting never depends on a bank connection or cloud provider.
A calmer monthly rhythm
Add assets and debts, then import transaction evidence.
Confirm income, spending, transfers, payments, and exact splits.
Fund envelopes, statements, projects, targets, and buffers.
Use projections, reconcile balances, and preserve a checkpoint.
No required cloud account
Deploy with Docker Compose or install on Synology DSM. Use Ledgerward from a responsive browser or install its PWA shell on the devices you already own.
The honest fine print
Not today. Imports are deliberate and reviewable: Chase formats work out of the box, and configurable CSV profiles cover other exports. Direct bank connections are deferred, so the core product never depends on them.
No. The envelope plan sits on an immutable double-entry ledger, with dedicated handling for cards, loans, HELOCs, transfers, refunds, reconciliation, and month close.
Ledgerward is usable today and under active development, but it has not reached a 1.0 compatibility commitment. Current gaps and implementation status are documented openly in the project roadmap.
Private finances deserve
a private home.
