What they did
1) Install Accountant24 on an Apple Silicon Mac, connect an LLM provider, and select a model. For local inference, install Ollama, pull a supported model, and connect it under Settings → Providers. 2) Attach a bank-statement PDF, invoice, or receipt photo and ask the agent to add missing transactions. It extracts entries into the hledger ledger and archives the original file in the workspace. 3) Ask a spending question, optionally using @ to select an account, payee, or tag. 4) Review the changes in the local Git history; ask the agent to undo the last change if an import needs reversing.
How it went
The author says he uses the application daily. The README demonstrates imports and automatic Git commits rather than reporting an independent accuracy benchmark.
Worth knowing
Local ledger storage does not make a cloud model local. Keeping inference on the machine requires selecting a local provider such as Ollama.
