PackLedger Scout
Read full descriptionHide full description
PackLedger is simple, private bookkeeping for volunteer Scout pack treasurers. Create an alias or short-code account for each Scout. Record dues, activity payments, reimbursements, fees and pack expenses, then see pack and individual balances at a glance. Import local CSV files and review every row before it reaches the ledger. When the treasurer changes, hand over open CSV and JSON files or a printable PDF report. Everything stays on your device: no account, analytics, backend, bank connection, advertising or locked features. PackLedger is free and fully unlocked. Optional one-time consumable tips support independent development and never unlock functionality.

FidesCuenta is clear, transparent bookkeeping for groups that manage money together, on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Record income and expenses in seconds, always know how much is in each cash box or account, and prepare reports for the board, the members or the pastor. WHO IT IS FOR • Associations, clubs, volunteer groups and small nonprofits. • Parishes, missions and religious communities. • Parent committees, student groups, sports teams. • Housing communities and shared flats. • Families keeping a household budget. • Trips and events with a common fund. BOOKS AND WALLETS • Multiple books: group, household, parish, project. • Cash, bank accounts and funds, with balances always up to date. • Transfers between wallets and balance checks. • Reimbursements for people who advanced money. ENTRIES • Categories and subcategories with colors. • Pass-through money: collections or fees you gather and hand on (for example, to the diocese) without inflating your income and expenses. • Search by text and by amount; filter by month, year or date range. • Audit: mark entries as checked or to be checked. INVOICES (ECUADOR SRI) • Import the list of received documents or the XML files. • The app suggests the matching expense for each invoice. • Invoice details: what was bought, quantities and VAT. • Scan invoices and receipts with the camera. TEAM • Share a book with the treasurer, secretary, council or family. • Roles and permissions: who records, who approves, who only views. • Deletions are approved by the admin; every change is kept in the history. REPORTS • Category summary, entries for the period and audit. • PDF to print or send, and CSV for Excel or Numbers. PRIVACY • Your data stays on your device and, if you wish, in your own iCloud. • No accounts, no ads, no tracking, no third-party servers. • Backups in a single file you keep wherever you like.
