What is Field Ledger?
A real estate operations ledger built for short-term rental hosts — a structured place to record the trips, activities, expenses, guest stays, and personal-use days behind your properties, and to export them for your CPA. Start with Getting started.
Is there a mobile app?
Not yet — Field Ledger is a responsive web app that works in your phone's browser. There is no native iOS or Android app to install.
Does it track my mileage automatically with GPS?
No. There is no GPS or background location tracking. You record a trip's miles when you enter it, and you can state the business purpose so the mileage counts toward the standard-rate figure. See Capturing entries.
Does it connect to my bank or Airbnb account?
No. There is no bank or credit-card sync and no automatic import. You enter transactions and stays yourself, which keeps you in control of what's recorded.
How does the AI work — does it do my bookkeeping?
The two AI features are opt-in and produce drafts you review and confirm. AI capture turns your typed notes into draft entries; receipt reading suggests a receipt's printed fields as a draft expense. Neither auto-categorizes your books or makes any tax decision — that logic is rule-based. See AI capture and receipt reading.
What do the material-participation badges mean?
They read “Reached” or “Below,” showing whether your logged qualified hours have reached the §469 100-hour or 500-hour marks. Reaching a marker is a fact about your records — it is not a determination that you qualify, which is fact-specific and belongs with your tax professional. See Material participation report.
Does Field Ledger give tax advice or file my taxes?
No. Field Ledger organizes your records and reports facts against the relevant IRS thresholds. It does not file returns, generate forms, or give tax advice. Consult a qualified tax professional before relying on any figure for a return.
How long is the free trial, and do I need a card?
The trial is 714 days with no credit card required. It unlocks every feature with starter limits. See Billing & plans.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Open Manage Billing on the Billing page to cancel in the Stripe portal; access continues until the end of the period you've paid for. Subscriptions auto-renew until canceled.
Can I get my data out?
Yes — export your records to CSV anytime, including a Schedule E summary for your CPA. See Exporting to your CPA.
Who can use Field Ledger?
Field Ledger is offered to US residents only.
