Simple Ledger
Businessweight 1tracker · keeps what you put in
You mow three lawns, sell a little honey, and keep the books in your head, where they charge no fees but keep no records. Simple Ledger is bookkeeping stripped to its bones: for whom or for what, the amount, income or expense, and the date. Double-entry accounting is wonderful; this is for everyone who just needs the single honest line.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here — go on, put something in it.

Questions people ask
How does the Simple Ledger work?
Every entry is one row: who or what it was for, the amount, whether it was income or expense, and the date. That's the entire system, and for a small sideline it's the right amount of system.
Is the Simple Ledger enough for a proper business?
For a registered company with obligations, get real accounting software. For the side gig, the neighbourly arrangement, or the hobby that pays for itself, this is honest and sufficient.
Does the Simple Ledger send my financial data anywhere?
Nowhere. It's one HTML file that runs offline in your browser — no account, no upload, no analytics reading your numbers. The ledger stays on the page and the file stays yours.
