LedgerLance is a private, on-device record book for self-employed people -- freelancers, gig workers, and independent contractors who get 1099s instead of paychecks. Keep clean records all year: • Log income as it arrives and expenses as they happen • Scan paper receipts with your camera -- LedgerLance reads the amount, date and merchant on-device and suggests them; you review and confirm every entry • Track mileage trips with your own per-mile rate • See a quarterly set-aside target based on a percentage you choose yourself • Get reminders ahead of common quarterly dates • Lock the app with Face ID Your data stays on your phone. No account, no cloud, no analytics, no ads. Export everything as JSON anytime, for free -- your records are never held hostage. LedgerLance is a record-keeping tool, not tax, legal, or accounting advice. It does not calculate taxes. Verify all figures with a qualified tax professional. LedgerLance Plus is an auto-renewing subscription that unlocks the app: unlimited income, expense and mileage entries, plus CSV export and a CPA-ready PDF packet of your records. A free trial is offered on the annual plan. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Current prices and terms are shown in the app before you buy.
