BizBooks Pro Desktop History Archive
Launched this week
New: a free, read-only Desktop History Archive. Cancelling QuickBooks Desktop leaves your company file read-only for a limited time, then locked. Import every year into an archive on your own Windows PC: open it, run any report, export to PDF, Excel or CSV. No expiry, no card. One company per free archive; Windows 10/11 only. The full accounting product is an annual subscription, and the same file becomes fully editable if you later keep your books with us.

Hi Product Hunt, I'm Ken, founder of BizBooks Pro, a Windows desktop accounting app where your books stay on your own machine. We listed here quietly in January; this is the first thing we've built that's worth a proper launch, and it's free.
Why we built this: Intuit has stopped selling QuickBooks Desktop to new customers and moved the remaining users to yearly subscriptions. Cancel, and you keep read-only access for a limited time, after which QuickBooks won't open your own company file unless you pay again. Many small businesses have a decade or more of books in that file, and they need them for taxes, audits, loans or selling the business.
The Desktop History Archive is free. Install the app, choose the archive on the first screen (email address, no card), and the importer walks you through exporting from QuickBooks Desktop and brings your accounts, customers, vendors, items and transactions across year by year. After 30 days to tidy up imports, it's read-only for good and never expires.
Honest limits: Windows 10/11 only, one company per free archive, and you export from QuickBooks while it still opens your file, so do it before read-only access ends. The full accounting product is an annual subscription. The archive is free with no strings, and if you later want to keep your books with us, the same file becomes fully editable.
I'll be here all day to answer questions.
