The proof chain / watch the workflow
From evidence to a book you can defend.
The center film shows the actual transformation: source evidence enters, unknowns surface, a proposal forms, and a human-approved journal keeps its memory.

Unknowns stay visible
Missing basis, history, and classification become questions a person can resolve.

Proposal
A bounded proposal appears
AI can explain evidence and draft a balanced next step without becoming accounting authority.

Approval
Approval is explicit
A person owns the posting decision before the journal reaches Ledger and reports.

The books keep their memory
A durable local record carries the why forward, not just the final number.
01
One accountable path
From Raw Evidence to a Journal You Can Defend.
The hard part of accounting is not moving numbers around. It is preserving why a number belongs there—and knowing who made the decision.
- 01
Bring the Evidence
Import a fictional CSV or connect a supported watch-only source. The original context stays attached.
- 02
Resolve the Unknowns
Missing value, basis, history, or classification remains visible instead of being quietly guessed.
- 03
Review the Proposal
Optional GPT-5.6 assistance can explain or propose. It never becomes accounting authority.
- 04
Post With Proof
Your approval creates a balanced journal whose evidence carries into Ledger and reports.
02
Local by design
The Accounting File Is the Product. Not the Account Around It.
The installed app provisions a local owner and stores the Book on your Mac. The complete local workflow does not depend on a MEG-operated application server.
- 01 / Local owner
- No hosted sign-in is required to open the installed workspace.
- 02 / Durable records
- Posted journals are immutable; corrections use linked reversals.
- 03 / Honest unknowns
- Missing prices, basis, rates, or classifications stay missing.
- 04 / Bounded assistance
- External AI is optional, consented, and proposal-only.

An explicit boundary
The Website Never Becomes Your Book.
Download access and installed accounting are separate systems. This site does not receive ledger data, wallet secrets, provider credentials, or local identity.
- Website
Records the Request You Chose
Email, purpose, consent, and request time are sent to Midwest AI Solutions under the published privacy policy.
- Browser
Carries One Short-Lived Entitlement
A signed HttpOnly cookie may authorize one configured artifact. It never becomes an app credential.
- Installed app
Starts From Local Persistence
The app inherits no website session, hosted analytics, or signup identity.
Private beta · source-available release planned
Claims Stay Narrower Than the Ambition.
- No public artifact by default
- A deployer must configure an exact file and verified checksum.
- No custody or secret collection
- Watch-only flows do not request seed phrases, private keys, or signing authority.
- No filing or compliance promise
- MEGAccountant is active-development accounting software, not tax advice.
- No invisible authority
- AI output remains a proposal. A person decides what reaches the ledger.
- No Book telemetry
- Ledger data, wallet data, and local app activity never flow into this website.
- No release-status shortcut
- A local diagnostic or source-tested feature is not a signed, notarized, or public build.
