A look inside

Click a picture to see it full size. All of the data shown is made up.

A new invoice with a sales tax rate chosen, a Tax box on each line, and the subtotal, tax and total shown — **Invoices with sales tax.** Choose the rate, tick the taxable lines, and Ledjoro adds the tax as you type.

The sales tax return worksheet with taxable, exempt and non-taxable sales, tax by jurisdiction, and the tax due — **Sales tax return worksheet.** Taxable, exempt and non-taxable sales and the tax for each agency, ready to print and copy onto your return.

Invoices as PDFs. Your logo and address, itemized lines, tax by agency and the balance due, saved as a PDF you can email.

A list of open invoices with overdue ones marked in red — **Invoices.** Who owes you, what is overdue, and what is still open.

Imported bank transactions waiting for review, with a category chooser at the bottom — **Bank transactions.** Import a statement, and Ledjoro offers a category for each line and remembers your choices.

A profit and loss report listing income, cost of goods sold and expenses by account — **Reports.** Profit and loss, balance sheet, trial balance, aging, general ledger and cash forecast.

The QuickBooks Sync page explaining how to connect to QuickBooks Desktop — **QuickBooks Sync.** Copy your QuickBooks Desktop data across. It only reads, and shows a preview before anything is imported.

A balance sheet shown in the dark blue Night theme — **Themes.** A balance sheet in the Night theme. Light and Dark are there too.

Get started

Download Ledjoro.exe from the releases page and save it somewhere you can write to, such as C:\Ledjoro.
Run it. Windows may say it protected your PC because the program is not code-signed with a Windows certificate yet. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
Create your account and print or save the sign-in sheet. It holds your password and a one-time recovery key.

Your books are kept in a Ledjoro-Data folder beside the program, so moving to another computer is a copy.

Please read: it is a beta

Ledjoro works and has been tested a great deal, but it is a beta. It has not yet been used on many real companies and has not had an independent security review.

Keep your own backups, and have an accountant look over your books before you rely on them. It does not do payroll or inventory yet.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. Every feature is included and there is no paid version. It is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License 3.0 or later. If it helps you, you can buy me a coffee, but that is entirely optional and changes nothing.

Where is my data?

In a file on your own computer, in a folder called Ledjoro-Data next to the program. Ledjoro does not upload your books, has no account system, and sends no usage data. The only time it contacts the internet is when you click Check for Updates.

Can it replace QuickBooks for my business?

For many very small businesses that invoice, pay bills, reconcile the bank and file sales tax, it may. It does not do payroll, inventory or QuickBooks Online syncing yet, and it is a beta, so test it alongside your current system before you switch. You can import your lists and history from QuickBooks exports, and sync from QuickBooks Desktop.

Does it work with QuickBooks Online?

Not directly. You can export files from QuickBooks Online and import them into Ledjoro. The live sync is for QuickBooks Desktop, which provides a free tool for it called the Web Connector.

What about Mac and Linux?

Ledjoro is Windows only for now. Mac and Linux versions are being considered.

How do updates work?

Open About in the program and click Check for Updates. It installs a new version only if it carries Ledjoro's release signature, and it keeps your old copy as a backup next to the new one.

Can I check the source code?

Yes, all of it is at github.com/Tusivo/Ledjoro. You can also report problems there, or write to info@tusivo.com with a feature idea.
