LedgerLocal - your receipts never leave your laptop

Description and use

LedgerLocal lets freelancers process and audit receipts locally, without uploading data to the cloud, automatically sorting, categorizing, and exporting them to a CSV for an accountant.

Problem

Freelancers and one‑person studios need to sort and audit a large volume of receipts without uploading sensitive data to the cloud.

Outcome

LedgerLocal enables freelancers to process and audit receipts locally, eliminating the need to upload sensitive data and reducing the time spent on tax season organization.

Workflow

• Point ledgerlocal at a folder of receipts
• The local vision model extracts vendor, date, tax, currency, total
• The tool categorizes each document using user‑defined rules
• Files are moved into a year/quarter/category directory tree
• A CSV is generated for the accountant
• Documents flagged as uncertain are reviewed and repaired if needed

Evidence

Point it at a folder: it reads each document with a local vision model, extracts vendor / date / tax / currency / total, categorises it against rules you control, files it into a year/quarter/category tree, and exports the CSV your accountant asks for.

Source

The best part isn't extraction, it's distrust: every document is audited after the model answers. In the demo the model misreads $65.09 as $65.00 and the tool catches it from the arithmetic — nobody told it to look.
