With a self-hosted server, preview Alipay and WeChat statements and choose which transactions to add. - Your choice of storage: Keep a local ledger without signing up, or record transactions offline with your own server and sync when back online. - Backup and sharing: Back up a local ledger to iCloud, and save or share a daily receipt. Pro unlocks more themes, multiple server connections, and batch imports of Alipay and WeChat statements. ezBookLedger is an independent third-party client for ezBookkeeping and is not affiliated with its developers.
