No app for your friends

The hardest part of most expense splitters is getting everyone to install them. Ledgr asks nobody else to download a thing.

Every shared-expense app hits the same wall: it only works if the whole group signs up. One holdout, one person who never opens the invite, and you are back to a spreadsheet.

Everyone else is just a name

Ledgr runs entirely on the organizer’s phone. The people on a trip are just names you add, not app users. Nobody else downloads anything, makes an account, or gets a notification.

Setup takes seconds because there is no group onboarding to coordinate. You add names and start logging.

One source of truth

One person, one device, one correct ledger. No syncing conflicts, no "did you log that?", no waiting on the slow friend to confirm.

All trip, expense, and receipt data lives only on that device. There is no backend, no accounts, and no networking at all.
