From Napkin to Ledger: Our Story

NapkinLedger started as an actual napkin: a founder sketching "cash in, cash out, big three expenses, done?" during a tax-season panic.

We tried the famous apps. Each demanded daily feedings — categorize, match, reconcile — for numbers we only needed once a month. The tools were built for bookkeepers, priced for companies, and shipped in English only.

So we built the opposite: monthly cadence, top-down entries, honest bundling, Arabic and English, $3 a month. If your business is you plus maybe a contractor, this is your ledger.
