Budgetree — simple, clean, no-nonsense expense tracking. 【Log in 3 seconds】 Type it, say it, or scan a receipt — amount and category are recognized for you. 【Switch without re-typing】 Import official bank, WeChat or Alipay CSV, zip or xlsx statements and bring your history with you. CSV export is free. 【See where your money goes】 Spending breakdown, income vs. expense trends and category rankings by month, quarter or year, plus an AI review with one-line advice. 【Stay on budget】 Total and per-category budgets with gentle alerts at 80% and over-budget. 【Track together】 Invite members to share one ledger for couples, families or roommates. Turn on "everyone must confirm" so each entry counts only after all members approve. 【Recurring entries, automatic】 Salary, rent, utilities and subscriptions are logged on schedule — daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. 【Your data stays yours】 Local-first storage, one-tap local backup, CSV export, and optional cloud sync across devices. 【Clean by design】 No ads, no marketing push notifications. App lock and privacy blur keep your ledger private. All built-in categories, voice entry, receipt scanning, reports, budgets, recurring entries, import/export and backups are free. Membership unlocks multiple ledgers, shared ledgers, cloud sync and custom categories. New users can try Pro free for 7 days, with no automatic charge.

ezBookLedger is for people who want control over their financial data. It has no ads, and the free version covers everyday bookkeeping. ezBookLedger does not provide a central cloud account or host your financial records. In local mode, no account is required: your ledger stays on your device, with optional iCloud backup and restore. In server mode, you connect to an ezBookkeeping server you host or manage for access and syncing across devices. Key features: - Quick entry: Add transactions manually, with Shortcuts, or with help from screenshot recognition. - Clear insights: Browse a transaction timeline, activity calendar, spending trends, budgets, and category statistics. - Flexible imports: Import CSV files. 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.
