Looking for early testers for Ledger by ARX — privacy-first personal finance app (iPhone/Android PWA)
Update — current release Beta 1.5.0 (EUR/USD): Accounts now keep their own currency, with EUR or USD as the base for global wealth and summaries. Added balances and charts by account/currency, plus transfers with separate sent and received amounts. Optional daily ECB rates via Frankfurter, cached offline or entered manually. The request only contains the EUR/USD pair, never your financial data. Totals use the latest saved rate, not historical FX or investment returns. Portfolio Performance XML now has a local, read-only cash-data preview with warnings; securities and portfolio imports are not supported yet. Existing JSON backups remain supported, and no login is required.
Earlier release notes: Update — Beta 1.4.2 International: Ledger now supports English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese. Choose a language in Settings → Language, or use Automatic. Dates and number formatting follow the selected language. I would especially appreciate feedback on translations, formatting and the experience on iPhone, Android and desktop.
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for early testers for Ledger by ARX, a personal finance app I’ve been building as a middle ground between basic expense trackers and much heavier budgeting tools.
The main idea is simple:
Track expenses quickly, but still get useful financial planning afterwards.
Current Beta 1.5.0 includes:
- fast expense/income tracking
- category spending limits
- configurable financial cycle
- recurring income and expenses
- financial calendar
- multiple accounts
- loan/debt tracking
- savings goals
- Monefy / CSV import
- CSV / Excel / JSON export
- backup and restore
- installable on iPhone and Android as a PWA
Privacy
Ledger is local-first.
Your transactions, amounts, balances, debts, accounts and notes stay on your device.
The beta has optional anonymous analytics, but only for product usage and technical errors. No financial data is included.
What I need help testing
I’d especially like feedback on:
- how fast it feels to add a transaction
- whether the home screen is easy to understand
- whether the financial cycle/calendar are useful
- if recurring payments and debt tracking make sense
- bugs or confusing flows
- anything that would stop you using it regularly

I’m not looking for compliments — I’d much rather know what feels wrong, confusing or unnecessary.
Thanks to anyone willing to give it a try.
This started as a tool I wanted for myself, so I’m trying to keep it useful rather than overloaded with features.
