About

Built for small teams that own their time

Alpha-Ledger exists because tracking time and calculating employee pay shouldn't require a stack of SaaS subscriptions or surrendering your data.

Why we built it

Standalone by design

Alpha-Ledger is a focused time-tracking and employee-pay application for small businesses and teams. Workers clock in and out, tag time to projects, and managers review, approve, and export hours.

Unlike bloated enterprise tools, Alpha-Ledger is built to run independently. It does not depend on Project-Alpha or any third-party service to track time. The Project-Alpha integration is optional and can be connected when your workflow is ready.

It is developed by Ledge Top Technologies LLC and designed for businesses that want control over their own time data, pay calculations, and deployment.

What we believe

Source-available, not open source

Alpha-Ledger is released as source-available software under a proprietary license. The code is available for audit, self-hosting, and internal use within the license terms.

Own your data

Database, encryption key, backups, and runtime all live on infrastructure you control. No third-party analytics or telemetry.

Keep timekeeping simple

Clock in, take breaks, clock out, approve, export. Focused tools that stay out of the way so the team can work.

Connect only when ready

Start standalone. Add Project-Alpha billing integration later with project mapping, historical backfill, and durable sync.
