Get the app. Be a tester.

Ledgable is free software for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Android phones and e-ink tablets: a notebook that keeps what you put in it, a reader for your feeds, mail, books and comics, and a door to a website you own. It is in beta, and testers are who it is built with. Install it, use it for a week, tell us what broke.

What you are installing

The day page on a Boox e-ink tablet
Boox One page per day, in your handwriting.
Feeds on an e-ink phone
Android Your feeds, mail and podcasts in one quiet room.
The day page on an iPad
iPad The same page, Apple Pencil.

  • Capture handwriting, voice, video and pictures, and annotate everything with them.
  • One unified inbox. Every mail account, every feed, newsletters, YouTube, podcasts and Bluesky in one room with one search.
  • RSS feeds without the ads. Every article as its readable copy: text and pictures, no pop-ups, no trackers, no algorithm, nothing sponsored. Plus newsletters, YouTube channels, podcasts, books and comics.
  • Scroll with the volume buttons, or turn the page. Finally, a Kindle for everything: books, comics, web, articles, mail. On e-ink and Android the rocker pages every screen; on iPhone and iPad, tap or swipe.
  • Star, pick, write. A walk from Today through All Stars and All Picks to the day’s note turns reading into writing.
  • Sync between Android and Apple devices through Google Drive or any WebDAV server you own. Plain files either way.
  • Publish a handwritten page to your own WordPress, to Bluesky, or to the Ledgable community.

The whole tour is on the front page; every room is explained in the knowledge base.

Install it

iPhone · iPad · Apple Watch

Ledgable 1.0 is in App Review. Until it clears, install the same build through TestFlight: tap the link on your iPhone or iPad, install Apple’s TestFlight app if asked, and accept. The Watch app rides inside the iOS app.

Join the TestFlight beta →

When the App Store listing goes live, the link lands here and in Announcements.

Android & e-ink

The Android build is sideloaded today: download the APK on the tablet, open it, allow the install. Boox, Bigme and Viwoods panels each get their own fast-ink path.

Ledgable for Android (APK, ~110 MB) →

Coming to Google Play: join the tester group to install the test build from the store instead.

Setup for each device is in the knowledge base: iPhone, iPad and Watch · Boox, Bigme and other e-ink tablets.

Being a tester

  • Use it for real. A week of actual days, actual feeds, actual mail tells us more than an afternoon of poking.
  • Say what broke, where. Support turns a bug into a ticket that reaches the person who wrote the code; the checklist there asks for your device, the build number under Settings › About, and what you did.
  • Say what you wished for. Ideas go in the community’s Ideas & requests room, one idea per post, so the ones people want rise.
  • Connect the community to the app. ledgable.cc/pair gives you the app password; then your handwritten pages can go straight to Show your pages.
  • Updates. TestFlight updates itself. On Android, come back here for a new APK; the build number is on this page’s Announcements post when one ships.

Run your own site: the WordPress plugin

Ledgable for WordPress turns your own site into the ledger’s home: a private post type for dated entries, the pages that make them browsable, a REST surface the apps write to, and the open-network layer — feeds, webmentions, a directory — that lets ledgers find each other without a platform in the middle.

Verify SHA-256 of the zip: 62c8495ad13788d38496971f25d6ccfd9887b24e3c867a75faeb99c0c23baa4b. Needs WordPress 6.4 and PHP 7.4. Upload it at Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin; the setup wizard opens on activation.

The look of this site

ledgable.cc is Twenty Twenty-Five plus two files. If you want your own ledger’s site to read like this one, drop them into wp-content/mu-plugins/ and write pages inside a <div class="lg">.
