Open Ledger is an open-source project. The source lives at github.com/xpertxyz/OpenLedger. Inspect it, contribute, or self-host to keep full control of your data.
Anyone with a Google account can sign in. Authentication uses Google Identity Services — this app never sees your Google password.
Your entries — expenses, investments, recurring items, categories and household members — are stored in a MySQL database. The data is not encrypted at rest. Anyone with access to the database server can read your entries. Only sign in with data you're comfortable storing this way. If that isn't OK for you, self-host so the database is yours.
You can delete your account, and with it every ledger you own and every entry in them, at any time: open the profile drawer and choose Delete my account, or go to /account/delete. Deletion is immediate and permanent, and nothing is retained.
Open Ledger also ships as an Android app, which keeps its ledger in a single file on the phone with no account and no server. If you switch backup on there, the app copies that file into your own Google Drive — specifically the application data folder, a private area only this app can see, which no other app and no website can read. It does not pass through us and we never receive a copy of it. The app asks Google for exactly one permission to do that, drive.appdata, which reaches that folder and nothing else in your Drive: it cannot see, list or touch your own files. Set a passphrase and the file is encrypted on the phone before it leaves, so not even Google can read it — but if you forget that passphrase, nobody can recover the backup, including us. Disconnect the account from inside the app at any time, or revoke it yourself at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
We do not sell, share, or otherwise transfer your data to third parties, and nothing taken from your Google Drive is used for advertising or sold to anyone. No analytics tracker, no advertising, no third-party integrations receive your data. The only outbound request this website makes is to Google's sign-in endpoint, to verify your ID token at login.
The app is provided as-is, without warranty. Keep backups of anything you care about.
