Ledgerly replaces Expensify ($5/user/month, forever) with software you own. Drop a receipt photo in and local OCR (tesseract — nothing leaves your machine) pre-fills the amount, vendor, and date. Track expenses across categories and projects, set monthly budgets with progress bars and over-budget warnings, handle multiple currencies with locked-in rate snapshots, and automate recurring expenses. Export clean CSV for your accountant or a formatted PDF report. Runs as a Windows desktop app or self-hosted on any $5 VPS for your whole team — one price either way. A 3-person team on Expensify pays $180/year; Ledgerly pays for itself in two months and keeps your financial data on your own hardware.
