Where the money actually goes
Every transaction sorted into fixed commitments, day-to-day spending, occasional bills and debt. Not forty categories you have to interpret: four groups that tell you what you can change and what you cannot.
A one-off financial reset
Add the CSV files your Australian bank already gives you. ClearLedger sorts the mess, finds what is quietly costing you, and returns a plan you can act on this fortnight. Ten minutes, once, rather than another app to maintain.

What you get
Every transaction sorted into fixed commitments, day-to-day spending, occasional bills and debt. Not forty categories you have to interpret: four groups that tell you what you can change and what you cannot.
One figure, per week or per fortnight, that is what is genuinely left after everything already committed, including a fair share of the bills that only arrive twice a year.
Prioritised by what they are worth in dollars per fortnight, not by how virtuous they sound. Each one shows the transactions it came from.
The whole audit as a document you can save, print, or take to a financial counsellor. Then delete everything with one button.
Four steps, in order
Download a CSV from each account you want included. Most Australian banks call it "export transactions" or "download". No login details are ever needed here.
Drop them in. ClearLedger works out the columns, the date order, which way the money went, and which lines are duplicates from overlapping statement periods.
How often you are paid, whether every spending account is here, and any transactions it was unsure about. Usually under a dozen questions, not hundreds.
A snapshot, an allowance, a prioritised action plan, and scenarios you can move. Then download it and delete your data.
Privacy is the product, not a policy page
There is no account to create and no upload step. Your files are read by the browser you are using right now, and every figure in your audit is calculated there. We could not look at your spending if we wanted to, because it is never sent to us.
Being straight about it
The budgeting market is crowded, and most of it asks you to become a bookkeeper first. ClearLedger does one job instead: it finishes an audit and hands you the result.
Questions
No. ClearLedger never asks for a banking username, password or one-time code, and it has no connection to any bank. You export a CSV file yourself and add it here, which means you decide exactly what is included and when.
Nowhere. The file is read by your own browser and every figure is worked out on your device. Your transactions are not uploaded, not stored on a server, and not sent to any outside service, including any AI service.
Three months is the sweet spot. Less than a month and quarterly bills like electricity will not appear at all. ClearLedger tells you what your window can and cannot support rather than quietly averaging over gaps.
That is the normal case, and handling it is the point. ClearLedger reads signed amount columns, separate debit and credit columns, headerless exports, files with account details above the data, and several date formats. If something is genuinely ambiguous it asks, and it shows you what it assumed.
No. ClearLedger describes your own cash flow from your own files and suggests changes to it. It does not know your full circumstances and does not recommend financial products, lenders or investments.
