Why I Built My Own Personal Ledger App — Multi-Currency, Urdu RTL & Zero Ads
ANDROID APP
FREE
MULTI-CURRENCY
CLOUD BACKUP
4 LANGUAGES
I'm an expat based in Doha, Qatar. I deal in multiple currencies — QAR with people here, INR when sending money home, sometimes USD in between. I needed a simple app to track who owes me money and who I owe. Sounds simple, right?
I tried several popular ledger apps. Most were built for shopkeepers — GST billing, inventory management, business loans, staff accounts. I just needed to remember that Ahmed owes me QAR 500 and I need to pay Ali INR 2000. None of the apps handled multiple currencies per entry. None had proper Urdu RTL support. Most pushed ads or required an account just to add an entry.
So I built The Ledger Pro — a personal financial ledger that does exactly what I needed. Clean, private, multi-currency, and available in 4 languages including full Urdu RTL support. No ads. No login. No business features cluttering the screen.
Key Features
๐ฑ
Multi-Currency Support
Each transaction can have its own currency — QAR, INR, USD, AED, EUR, GBP, SAR, and more. You can even set a custom currency symbol. Perfect for expats and international traders managing money across countries.
๐
Installment Plan Tracking
Set up installment schedules on any entry — define total installments and amount per installment. Mark each one paid individually. The app tracks how many are done, how many remain, and shows a progress bar automatically.
๐ธ
Partial Payment Tracking
Someone paid in parts? Record partial payments one by one — each with date and note. The app tracks the remaining balance automatically and maintains a full payment history.
๐
PDF Statement Generation
Generate a clean, professional PDF statement for any party — showing total amount, payments made, balance remaining, and full payment history. Share it directly via WhatsApp in one tap.
☁️
Google Drive Cloud Backup
Sync your data directly to your personal Google Drive. Restore anytime on any device. No third-party server — your data goes only to your own Drive account.
๐
Biometric Lock
Protect your financial data with fingerprint or face authentication. The app locks on open and only lets you in after biometric verification — your data stays private even if someone picks up your phone.
๐
Financial Reports
View total entries, settled vs pending, payable vs receivable, top contacts, and activity over the last 6 months — all in a clean visual dashboard.
✅
Settle & Archive
Mark entries as settled when cleared. They move to Settled History so your active list stays clean, but the record is never lost.
๐ฅ
Parties Management
Save frequently used names as Parties. Select them instantly when adding entries — type a new name and add them to your party list in one tap without leaving the entry screen.
๐ค
WhatsApp Sharing
Share any entry details directly on WhatsApp in one tap. Useful for sending reminders or confirmations without copying anything manually.
๐
Export as CSV & JSON
Export all your ledger data as a CSV file (opens in Excel/Sheets) or as a JSON backup file. Full control over your data, offline.
๐
Search & Filter
Search entries by name, amount, date, or note instantly. Filter by All, I Pay, or I Receive — find any record in seconds no matter how many entries you have.
๐
Dark Mode
Full dark theme support. Easy on the eyes at night, and your preference is saved automatically — no need to switch every time you open the app.
๐
4-Language Interface with Urdu RTL
The entire app UI switches between English, Hindi, Hinglish, and Urdu. Urdu comes with full right-to-left layout — every label, button, form, and message flips direction. Set your language during setup and change it anytime.
Supported Languages
๐ฌ๐ง English
๐ฎ๐ณ Hindi (เคนिंเคฆी)
๐ค Hinglish
๐ข ุงุฑุฏู (RTL)
Every label, button, message, and notification changes when you switch language. Urdu switches the entire layout to right-to-left — not just the text, but the full interface direction.
๐ Your Data Belongs to You
The Ledger Pro does not use any server of its own. All your ledger entries are stored locally on your device. When you use Cloud Sync, your data goes directly from your phone to your personal Google Drive — we have zero access to your financial information. No ads. No analytics. No tracking.
