Forward your bank's transaction-alert emails and Ledger reads them automatically — no bank login, no open-banking connection, ever. Every transaction is categorized the moment it lands, so your spending stays up to date without spreadsheets. WHAT YOU GET • Safe-to-spend, done for you. Ledger takes your budget, subtracts what you've already spent and the bills you've reserved, and shows a single daily number you can trust. • Recurring bills. Ledger spots your repeating payments, reserves money for them, and reminds you before they're due. • Ask your money anything. "How much did I spend on food this month?" Get clear answers powered by AI. • Voice and manual entry. Log a purchase in seconds. • Cycles that match your life. Weekly, monthly, or your own pay cycle. • Savings and investments stay separate, so they never inflate your spending. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Ledger only reads the transaction emails you choose to forward.
