A ledger of its own for the work on the side
Keep freelance work, consulting costs, or an online shop in its own dedicated ledger. Set operating budgets, track software tools in foreign currencies, and export clean CSVs when tax season rolls around.
A dedicated ledger for side projects
Create an Expense Group for your freelance work, Etsy shop, or side business. Software subscriptions and client lunches stay in their own space, never getting tangled with personal household spending.
Tax-ready CSV exports
Export your freelance ledger to CSV at any time: dates, merchant names, local amounts, base currency equivalents, category tags, and notes, ready for your spreadsheet or accountant.
Multi-currency for international tools & clients
Pay for hosting in USD, bill a client in GBP, and track your total in your home currency. Set custom exchange rates and log purchases in any currency with automatic home-currency conversion.
Notes for client names & invoices
Attach project codes, client names, invoice numbers, or brief notes to any expense. When tax season arrives, every deduction has its context attached.
Lightweight tracking, not complex accounting software
If you run a large company with payroll and balance sheets, full accounting software makes sense. But if you're freelancing, consulting, or running a side project, you usually just need a clean, separate record of what you spent.
CashJot keeps side expenses in their own dedicated space, logged in two seconds at the counter or desk, calculated independently, and exported to CSV whenever you need it. It runs 100% offline and syncs privately through iCloud with no bank logins and no user accounts.
