    Submit, Review, Ship

    The collected posts open with 4 apps submitted to App Store Connect in 2 days. Ledgerly, 6 months old by then, was in review during WWDC26 and hit the App Store on June 8. It logged 35 first-time downloads two days later, followed by a Product Hunt upvote push.

    Two Platforms, One CLI

    HandleMe, built for sharing social handles with a quick scan at events, was teased in June and reached the App Store on July 2. With native Android ports of Ledgerly and HandleMe to keep in step, recap-wins arrived as a Homebrew-installable CLI whose align command helps close parity gaps. Meanwhile, Ledgerly's Android port went out to closed testers.

    Pro Users, Pro Requests

    Ledgerly Pro picked up its second paying user despite App Store payment hurdles, and the channel thanked everyone sharing its updates. Recurring income and expenses emerged as the most requested Ledgerly feature, and readers were asked to rate and review the app.

    October Polish

    October brought a revamped Ledgerly landing page and a 3-month Ledgerly Pro+ redeem offer, while adopting iPhone Duo became a priority for the coming weeks. With Google Wallet now supporting Ethiopia, the channel noted it was tempting to bring Ledgerly back to Android.

Building now.

Ledgerly

Launched

A revamped landing page went up in October, and Google Wallet's arrival in Ethiopia has the channel tempted to bring Ledgerly back to Android.

Android port closed-tested June to July 2026; in October, bringing it back to Android looked tempting.
