Switching from YNAB to Ledgerlite Home is mostly a matter of following the same three steps every OneTimeSuite app uses — buy once, deploy or install, bring your workflow over.
Step 1: Buy once on Whop
One payment of $15 gets you the packaged Windows installer, or clone the MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/budget-planner-personal-mvp and build it yourself for free.
Step 2: Install and open
Run the desktop app; it stores each budget profile as its own SQLite file under your OS user-data directory.
Step 3: Import your bank CSV
Map the columns once, let payee rules auto-categorize, and assign every dollar to an envelope.
What to expect during the switch
Ledgerlite Home covers the same core workflow as YNAB, so most people are productive within the first session — see the full feature list and FAQ on the product page before you commit.
Why make the switch at all
YNAB runs $14.99/mo, forever. Ledgerlite Home is $15, once. One month of YNAB just about covers Ledgerlite Home, and your budget never pays rent again.
Try Ledgerlite Home — $15, once
