Household finance & life-admin desk
Ledgerly
Budgets, bills, subscriptions, loans, contracts and deadlines on one private desk.
Ledgerly is a household finance and life-admin desk that keeps your data in your browser. Import bank statements, plan a monthly budget, track subscriptions, utility meters, loans, contracts, appliances and paperwork, then run a one-click check-up that sends each part through the matching usefulweb tool — subscription audit, bill detective, loan schedule, contract fee finder, deadline decoder, life-admin checklists and more. The results come together in a dashboard, a deadline calendar with .ics export, A/B comparisons and a printable household report.

Features
One-click household check-up
Runs every tool your data supports in one batch — subscriptions, meters, loans, appliances, contract quotes, letters, life events, estate plan — with progress, automatic retry and a findings list sorted by urgency.
Cash-flow dashboard
Income, fixed costs, variable spending and replacement reserve per month, free cash and savings rate, with every line traced back to the desk it comes from.
Bank statement import
Paste or open a CSV export from your bank: columns, date order and number format are detected, rows are categorised by your keywords and duplicates are skipped.
Budget vs. actual
Plan income and spending categories per month and compare them with your bank rows month by month, including uncategorised spending and a monthly trend chart.
Reconciliation & recurring payments
Flags possible duplicate rows and transfers between your own accounts, suggests the subscription or bill a payment belongs to for you to confirm, splits a row into two categories, and spots repeating debits that are not tracked yet.
Subscription audit & cancellation
Cost per use, overlaps and cancel candidates from Subscription Stack, foreign prices converted at ECB rates, and verified cancellation steps with a ready letter.
Utility bill checks
Every meter’s bills go through Bill Detective: spikes, price changes, outliers and calculation errors per period, plus the average monthly cost for your budget.
Loans with a plan B
Full amortization schedule, APR and the balance when the fixed rate ends; add a plan B with extra repayments and see the interest and payments it saves.
Contract notice dates
From start date, minimum term, renewal and notice period Ledgerly computes the next term end and the last day to cancel; pasted quotes are checked for hidden fees.
Deadline calendar with .ics
Notice dates, renewals, warranty ends, fixed-rate ends, deadlines decoded from letters and life-admin tasks in one list, exported to your calendar with reminders.
Replacement plan & reserve
Appliances and home components get an expected remaining life from published ranges; Ledgerly turns it into a replacement timeline and a monthly reserve.
Decision toolbox with A/B
Seventeen calculators — repair or replace, true cost, warranty, bulk buy, price per unit, break-even, job offers, bill split and more — saved in the project, with variant B compared side by side.
Money in other currencies
ECB reference rates for foreign subscriptions and contracts, exchange-rate history, multi-currency invoices and travel card or ATM fee comparisons.
Comparisons over time
Save a snapshot of your key figures each month, chart how income, fixed costs and free cash develop and compare any two snapshots.
Life admin & digital estate
Dated checklists for moving, a baby, retiring and other life events, and a digital estate plan built from your accounts and subscriptions — never passwords.
Household report & exports
A printable report (save as PDF) with findings, cash flow, deadlines and plans; CSV, JSON, SVG and PNG exports and hand-over to other premium apps.
Templates
Start from a ready-made project and change it to fit.
City couple, renting
Two salaries, a rented flat, three months of bank rows, streaming, phone and internet contracts, an electricity meter and a payment reminder to decode.
Family home with a mortgage
Mortgage with a 10-year fixed rate and an extra-repayment plan B, heat-pump and water bills, a roof and appliances to replace, a baby checklist and a solar decision.
Freelancer with clients abroad
Software subscriptions in US dollars and pounds, a multi-currency invoice, a travel card comparison and the exchange-rate history.
Student flatshare
Shared subscriptions and bills in pounds, an energy bill split by room size, a tight budget and supermarket price comparisons.
Retirement & digital estate
Pension budget, insurance renewals, an ageing boiler and windows, a retirement checklist and a digital estate plan for the family.

Frequently asked questions
Is Ledgerly free and where is my data?
Yes, it is free. Your household project is stored in this browser (IndexedDB) and in files you save. When a tool runs, only that tool’s inputs (for example your subscription list or a pasted letter) are sent to the usefulweb.site API and are not stored there; there is no account and no bank login.
Does Ledgerly connect to my bank?
No. Download a CSV export from your online banking and import it (File → Import bank statement). Ledgerly detects the columns, date order and number format, categorises the rows with your keywords and skips rows it already has.
What does the household check-up do?
It looks at what your project contains and runs the matching tools one after the other: exchange rates for foreign prices, Subscription Stack, Bill Detective per meter, the loan schedule (and plan B), How Long Will It Last per appliance, Hidden Fee Finder for pasted quotes, Deadline Decoder for letters, Life Admin Generator for life events and the Digital Estate Organizer. Results are cached in the project, so the dashboard and report also work offline afterwards.
How are contract notice dates calculated?
From the dates you enter: the contract runs for the minimum term from its start date and then renews by the renewal period (or ends when you set 0). Ledgerly finds the next term end you can still reach and subtracts the notice period to get the last day to cancel. It does not check the terms against consumer law in your country — read your contract and local rules.
Can I compare two options?
Yes. Every saved decision can be duplicated as variant B; Ledgerly runs both and shows their key figures side by side. Loans have a built-in plan B for extra repayments, and monthly snapshots compare your figures over time.
Does it work offline?
Editing, the cash-flow dashboard, budget vs. actual, the bank import, the recurring-payment finder, contract dates, the calendar, .ics export and the report all run locally. Tool runs need a connection; Ledgerly shows a clear message, keeps your work and lets you retry.
Can an AI agent build a Ledgerly project?
Yes. The project format is a documented JSON schema (/project.schema.json) and all 25 tools are available through this host’s JSON API and MCP endpoint. Open a finished project with an /app#project=… link or as a .ledgerly.json file.
Is this financial or legal advice?
No. Ledgerly organises your numbers and runs transparent calculators; each tool page explains its method and limits. Check important decisions — loans, contracts, legal deadlines — with your provider or an adviser.
How does reconciliation decide what matches?
Only by exact rules: a debit is suggested for a subscription when the price in your household currency is exactly the same and the subscription name appears in the bank description, and for a bill period when its total is exactly the same and the meter name appears. Possible duplicates share date, amount, account and description; possible transfers are opposite amounts on the same day in two named accounts. Suggestions are hints, not proof — nothing is linked until you press Confirm match, and you can clear it again.
Limitations
What Ledgerly does not do (yet):
- No bank connection (no PSD2/open banking): transactions come from CSV exports you import.
- Tools run on the usefulweb.site API and need a connection; rate limits apply (about 15 exchange-rate calls per minute), and Ledgerly retries automatically after a pause.
- One household per project and one home currency; foreign prices are converted at ECB reference rates, not your card’s rate.
- Contract notice dates follow the terms you enter; local consumer-law rules (for example shorter notice after the minimum term) are not applied automatically.
- The recurring-payment finder needs at least three similar payments (two for yearly ones) and can miss payments whose amount changes by more than 15%.
- Tool results are shown in English until their translations are available; Ledgerly’s own interface is translated.
- Google Drive saving needs a usefulweb.site account; without one, projects stay in this browser and in files you download.
- Reconciliation suggests matches only for exact amounts with the subscription or meter name in the bank description, and flags transfers only when rows carry account names; partial payments, fees or currency differences are not matched.
