Firewood Ledger
A private firewood ledger in one HTML file on your machine: no account, no cloud, no server to talk to.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here: go on, put something in it.
Forged into a knife, this tool ages with use: the blades you reach for wear soft, entries you tend keep their bloom, and the years travel with the file through every reforge.
Wood warms you twice, the saying goes, but only if it has had its year or two to dry — and nobody remembers which stack went up when. The Firewood Ledger remembers: each load or stack, the wood type, when it was stacked, whether it is seasoned, and notes. Burn the stack that is ready; leave the young one to its patience.

Standing facts
- One HTML file. Opens in any modern browser, on any operating system.
- No account. No login, no sign-up, no e-mail wall.
- No cloud. Nothing leaves your browser: no server, no telemetry, no analytics.
- Yours forever. The file keeps working whether or not Offline.Ltd does.
- Ages with use. Entries you tend keep their bloom; the years travel with the file through every reforge.
In ten years
Whatever you put in (Load / stack, Wood type, Stacked and Seasoned) stays inside the file itself. There is no account to lapse, no plan to be sunset, no migration e-mail with a deadline in it. A decade of firewood ledger entries is a decade of your own handwriting, kept in a document you can back up like any other.
If Offline.Ltd closes tomorrow, nothing on your machine notices. That isn't a marketing promise; it's simply what a file is.
Getting your data out
Export to CSV from inside the tool and open it in anything: a spreadsheet, another app, a text editor. Or keep the HTML file: it is plain, readable, and inspectable; you can open it in a text editor and see your own rows sitting there. No export queue, no "we'll e-mail you a link within 48 hours", no format that only one vendor can read.
Copy the file to a USB stick, a NAS, a folder your devices already sync. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, online or off, because a browser is the only thing it ever needed.
Who else sees this
Nobody. Your Load / stack, Wood type, Stacked and Seasoned never leave the file on your own disk. There is no account, no telemetry, no analytics, and no code in the file that opens a network connection, pull the cable and watch it carry on working. How privacy works across the Homestead tools →
Questions people ask
How do I know when firewood is seasoned and ready to burn?
Most hardwood wants a year or two split and stacked in the wind; the ledger holds each stack's date so the arithmetic is done for you. Look for cracked ends and grey colour, then tick the Seasoned box with a clear conscience.
Why record the wood type for each stack?
Because woods behave differently: oak seasons slowly and burns long, birch is quick both ways, pine spits. Knowing what each stack is tells you what to burn on a hard January night versus a mild October evening.
Does the Firewood Ledger work offline, out by the woodpile?
Yes — one HTML file, runs in the browser without any connection, no account, nothing sent anywhere. It keeps working through the kind of weather that takes the internet down, which is exactly when you are out fetching wood.
