What's new, and what's next.

Totals for any filter, and an easier read.

• NewFilter your transactions by month, account, category or type, and the count line totals them: spent, received, moved and the net.
• ImprovedSmall labels are larger across the app, and Ledger's fonts now ship inside it, so it looks the same offline and contacts only its own update and licence servers.
• FixedAdd transaction opens from every screen, including right after Ledger starts.
• ImprovedA tidier sidebar, clearer empty screens, and a portable copy that says plainly how to update.

Steadier when you switch books.

• FixedSwitch to another book while Accounts, Categories or Recurring is open and the page follows you straight away.
• ImprovedThe sidebar now says Free version, matching the rest of the app.

A smoother start on a new computer.

• FixedA brand-new install opens the Books page and creates its first book without interruption.

Pro keeps working offline for a week.

• ImprovedLedger Pro checks its licence about once a week. Your records never need a connection and never leave your computer.
• ImprovedIf Ledger cannot check for a week, the Pro tools wait until it can. Everything you entered stays where it is, still visible and exportable.

Clearer words, everywhere.

• ImprovedWhen an amount, a rate or a term is not right, Ledger tells you what to enter.
• ImprovedPlainer wording across the app, including the licence and privacy settings.

Cleaner updates for portable copies.

• ImprovedOn the portable build, the update notice names the new version and downloads exactly that file.
• ImprovedSettings, then App updates, shows the checksum of the portable download.

Buy Pro from inside Ledger.

• NewBuy Ledger Pro from Settings, then Licence. The same screen lists what Pro adds, and your key arrives by email.
• ImprovedA refunded licence returns Ledger to the free version at its next check-in. Everything you entered stays.
• ImprovedThe usage-data setting is a single switch that says whether it is on or off.

Small improvements to everyday screens.

• ImprovedThe portable update notice has a Download button.
• ImprovedA new book starts in the currency you already use.
• ImprovedTidier wording in a few places.

Pro tools are clearly marked, and Ledger can count its users without knowing who they are.

• ImprovedOn the free version, Loans, Investments, Borrow/Lending and To Pay carry a Pro note, and anything you already entered stays visible.
• NewAn anonymous daily count so we know how many people use Ledger: a random id, Free or Pro, your operating system and the app version. Nothing about you or your money, and no IP address is kept. Switch it off in Settings, under Privacy.

A quieter free version, and a paid licence is always recognised.

• ImprovedA Pro licence is recognised even when the first check happens before the app has fully started.
• ImprovedThe free-version note can be dismissed once you have read it. If a paid licence lapses, that reminder stays, since it is worth acting on.

Ledger is now free to use, with Pro for the money-modelling tools.

• NewFree to use, no key needed. Track accounts, transactions and your monthly overview for free, forever. CSV import, export and encrypted backup are always included.
• NewLedger Pro, a one-time key, unlocks loans and EMIs, investments and deposits, borrowing and lending, the monthly To Pay checklist, and a second book for personal and business.
• ImprovedIf a Pro licence lapses, Ledger continues on the free version. Your data stays visible and exportable, and everyday tracking keeps working.
• ImprovedDeactivating a computer frees its place on the licence, so replacing a PC costs nothing. It takes effect at once online, or the next time that computer is online.

Faster monthly setup, and repayments you can label.

• NewClear amounts on To Pay: copy last month's list, then blank all the figures in one go and fill in this month's. Names, due dates and paid ticks stay.
• NewAdd a note when you record a repayment, so you can record how the money moved or what it was for. Notes show in the repayment history.

More reliable update checks.

• ImprovedUpdates and downloads now come from a dedicated address, so update checks are more reliable.

Ledger finally looks like Ledger.

• NewA proper app icon, so Ledger is easy to spot in the taskbar and Start menu.

Your name on the sidebar, and no more licence nudges.

• NewTell Ledger what to call you in Settings. Your initials show on the sidebar.
• FixedThe licence refreshes itself quietly in the background.

A self-contained build for PCs that are missing the WebView2 runtime.

• NewA Portable with runtime download that includes the Windows WebView2 runtime, for stripped-down Windows installs that cannot run the standard build.

A left sidebar, a richer Overview, and quick add from anywhere.

• NewA left sidebar for navigation, with your books, accounts, and settings a click away.
• NewAdd a transaction from any screen with the new Add button.
• NewAn investments allocation chart on the Overview dashboard.
• NewLend more to the same person: top up a Borrow or Lending entry with a dated amount.
• ImprovedSettled Borrow and Lending entries are grouped and dimmed, so open ones stand out.
• FixedFixed and recurring deposit values agree between the list and the detail view.

Payment-linked deposits, dark mode, and a clearer category picker.

• NewPayment-linked deposits: fixed and recurring deposits now record real transactions that debit an account, with a paid/due schedule and a one-tap Mark paid.
• NewDark mode with System, Light, and Dark options.
