The financial system of record for modern software.

A developer-first ledger with an immutable journal, derived balances, first-class holds, and multi-leg transactions. Move money in one API call, and every dollar stays traceable to the entry that moved it.

The API

Post money in a single request.

One balanced call. Ledgr writes the immutable journal, updates derived balances, and enforces conservation, atomically and idempotently.

payout.ts
import { Ledgr } from "ledgr-api";
const ledgr = new Ledgr(process.env.LEDGR_API_KEY);
const tx = await ledgr.transactions.create({
idempotencyKey: "pay_9f2a",
description: "Vendor payout",
postings: [
{ account: "treasury", direction: "debit", amount: 284_300 },
{ account: "payroll", direction: "credit", amount: 284_300 },
],
});
tx.status; // "posted" · debits === credits
A posted transaction in Ledgr

The same transfer, posted to your ledger and fully traceable.

Capabilities

Everything a money-moving product needs.

The primitives every team reinvents, correct and auditable by construction, behind one clean API.

01

Immutable journal

An append-only record of every posting. Nothing is updated or deleted; corrections are new entries, like git history for money.

02

Derived balances

Balances are computed from the journal and cached, so they always reconcile back to the entries that produced them.

03

First-class holds

Reserve funds without moving them. Capture partially or in full, or release, and available balance updates instantly.

04

Multi-leg transactions

Split a single transfer across many accounts in one balanced entry. Fees, taxes, and splits are native.

05

Idempotent by default

Every write takes an idempotency key. Retries and network failures never double-post.

06

Programs & currencies

Isolated books per program, each with its own currency that every account inherits. Multi-tenant from day one.

Ship money features on a ledger that balances itself.
