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.

Could you build this?
Partial The archive viewer, report UI, and PDF/Excel/CSV export are standard vibe-codeable work. The hard part is reading QuickBooks Desktop's proprietary company-file format, which vibe coding alone won't handle.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a way to get data out of QuickBooks Desktop: Intuit's QuickBooks SDK (qbXML/QBFC via the Windows COM interface) run against the user's own installed copy, or an export pipeline. The stack would be a Windows desktop app (e.g., .NET or Electron) with a local database such as SQLite for the archive and a report engine. Expertise needed is QuickBooks SDK integration plus accounting-data knowledge to reproduce reports faithfully.
