One File · Powerful money tracker
Clients, projects,
hours, invoices.
The bookkeeping brain you'd build for yourself if you didn't have to ship client work this week. Clients, projects, time entries, invoices — all in one HTML file you own forever.
One payment · Yours forever · 14-day refund
- Works fully offline
- Installs as an app (PWA)
- No account, ever
- Yours, forever
Loads once, never needs the internet again. On a plane, in a basement, in a foreign hotel.
Every entry, every chart — stored locally. We never see it. We can't.
No subscription. No upgrades. No re-up next year. One file, yours.
Why track
Why solo freelancers end up logging.
Without a record, the second half of the financial year is a fog. With one, it's a spreadsheet — clean, queryable, yours.
Hours forgotten = hours unbilled.
The Tuesday afternoon you spent on the brand-refresh thread is lost by Friday. A log captures the hour while it's still real.
Invoices outstanding compound.
Two open invoices is fine. Six is a problem. The dashboard surfaces the overdue ones automatically.
Top clients show you where to focus.
After a quarter, the top-clients-by-revenue list tells you who's actually paying. The squeaky wheel isn't always the cheque.
Tax-time goes from horror to CSV.
Hand your accountant a CSV of the year. Done.

The promise
Your books are yours.
Even if you stop paying us.
Offline, always
Open it once, never need the internet again. The file holds the whole app.
Local-first storage
Every entry stored in your browser, on your device. No server sync. No leaks. Nothing to breach.
One payment, forever
No subscription, no upgrade tier, no nag. If we shut down OneFileClub tomorrow, your file keeps working.
Data does not sync automatically between phone and desktop
This is a local-first app — everything stays on the device you logged it on. To use it on both phone and desktop, use the built-in JSON or CSV export on one device and import on the other when you want to keep them in step.
Every view, light and dark.
A look at every screen across both themes — your tracker, populated.
Questions
Real answers, no fine print.
Does it integrate with my bank?+
No — that needs cloud. The trade-off is the £0/mo and the 'your books survive forever' guarantee. Most solo freelancers reconcile manually anyway.
Can I export for my accountant?+
Yes. JSON for backup, CSV per entity for the accountant. The CSVs map cleanly to the standard year-end fields.
Where is my data stored?+
Locally, in your browser, on your device. Nothing is sent to OneFileClub or anyone else — there is no account, no cloud sync, no analytics.
Does it work offline?+
Yes. Once your personalised copy loads the first time, the entire tracker runs from a single HTML file. Airplane mode is fine.
What does 'personalised copy' mean?+
When you buy, OneFileClub stamps a private copy with your licence and deploys it to a unique URL just for you. You bookmark it, install it as an app, or save the file — and the file is yours, even if OneFileClub disappears tomorrow.
What is your refund policy?+
14 days, no questions asked. Email us, we'll process it and disable your private URL.
One payment.
A year of clean books.
We'll personalise a copy and email you a private link. Bookmark it, install it, log the hours you worked today.
