How it works

Compare equal-payment and equal-principal schedules, including estimated total payments and interest. This is a local planning tool, not a loan service or an official bank statement. Your contract and lender’s statements take precedence.

04Keep it yours

Before you need it,keep a backup ready.

Keep a restore point in the app and a full backup outside your iPhone.Keep a restore point and a full backup.You also choose where to keep exported backups.

A backup you keep

Use restore points for mistakes and a separate transfer file for device changes.

Full transfer backup and restore controls from the real MellowLedger app
A full transfer backup includes
  • Accounts and transactions
  • Categories and budgets
  • Assets and investments
  • Receipt images and recognition details

Recent restore points help with a bad import or reset. A separate transfer backup is what you keep outside the App for a new, lost, or damaged iPhone.

  • Create a restore point anytime; imports and reset also protect the current state
  • Keep up to five recent in-app backups and restore by time
  • Export a separate transfer backup for a new iPhone or device damage

A monthly report you can share

Create a report image with one option to hide total assets and income together. Share or save the picture without changing your ledger. A report image is not a restorable backup.

Life crosses borders. Your records stay clear.

For travel, life abroad, or everyday spending at home.Keep the original currency and see the bigger picture.

How it works · not an App screenshot

Different currencies, one clear ledger

Record spending in its original currency and set reference rates yourself. No live-rate connection is required.

Salary and transfers, ready for review

Set monthly income or ordinary transfers to appear as pending entries. Confirm what actually happened before it enters your ledger—no automatic bank transfers.

Find the receipt when you need it

Search your recorded transactions by item, amount, or receipt-related terms. Keep purchase details within reach.

Currencies & exchange rates

Different currencies. A familiar point of reference.

Travel spending, income abroad, or everyday bills: keep the original currency and understand its value in your ledger’s primary currency.

For your records

Set the reference rate yourself. Check the currency and rate before saving; no live-rate connection is needed.

For perspective

Explore monthly exchange-rate references stored in the App and an estimate of the currency-conversion impact. Historical context, not a market forecast.

No live quotes. No currency trading. No automatic changes to your manual rates.

How the two views differ

Historical references cover the dates bundled with the App, with observation dates shown. Missing periods are not live-updated; an annual comparison needs a January reference. Transactions retain their original amounts and currencies. Some account impacts and historical totals still use current manual reference rates: changing those rates or the primary display currency may change these conversions. Not every transaction’s conversion rate is locked.

Language is suggested for your region. You can always change it at the top of the page.

Your safety comes first

We care about your financial safety.

Your ledger is stored on your iPhone by default, with no MellowLedger account, ads, or third-party analytics. You choose whether to use iCloud backup or export a copy elsewhere.

Questions before you download

Clear answers to the concerns that matter.

Know how recovery, offline currencies, privacy, and purchasing work before you entrust an app with your ledger.

If my iPhone is lost or damaged, how can I recover my ledger?
MellowLedger offers two layers of protection. If you previously enabled Automatic iCloud Backup and a backup was completed, sign in to the same Apple Account on the new iPhone and restore a MellowLedger iCloud backup from the app. You can also import a full transfer backup that you previously exported to a computer, external drive, iCloud Drive, or another storage provider. On-device restore points alone cannot be retrieved from a lost or damaged phone, so keep an independent transfer backup.
How does multi-currency conversion work when I am offline?
MellowLedger does not call a live exchange-rate service. You set reference rates locally, so conversion works offline. Transactions retain their original amounts and currencies. Some account impacts and historical totals use current manual reference rates: changing those rates or the primary display currency may change these conversions. Not every transaction’s conversion rate is locked.
Why does MellowLedger avoid Plaid and other bank-connection services?
MellowLedger is local-first and never asks for a bank password or permission to pull a complete bank feed. You enter records yourself or import only the files you choose, with review before saving. This reduces the amount of financial data exposed to another service; you should still protect your iPhone, Apple Account, and any backup files you export.
What is the difference between Annual and Lifetime, and how do refunds work?
The Annual plan is intended to renew each year and eligible new subscribers can receive a 14-day free trial. The U.S. target is $9.99 per year—about $0.83 per month. Lifetime is a one-time purchase with a U.S. target of $29.99 for permanent access to the app and future updates. Apple shows your actual local price and eligibility before confirmation, processes every purchase, and decides refund requests under its policies; a refund is not guaranteed.
About the App previews

Real App screens with fictional demo data: Type and Speak use Build 203; receipt review and the other previews use Build 201. Feature descriptions also reflect verified improvements through Build 209; the images do not show that newer build. The interface follows the page language, while the voice preview uses English demo text. Screen currencies remain unchanged, including the USD receipt. No App interface has been redrawn.
