About

Your bank app shows what cleared. Basic Checkbook shows what's real. Most banking apps only reflect transactions that have already posted, not the check you wrote yesterday, the bill that hits Friday, or the withdrawal you made this morning. Basic Checkbook is a personal transaction register that lets you log every dollar as you spend it, across checking, savings, and credit cards, so your running balance is always accurate, always up to date, and always yours. No bank logins. No syncing your credentials to a third-party server. Just a fast, private checkbook register that works the way a checkbook always has, only better. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Log purchases, deposits, bills, withdrawals, checks, credits, and transfers as they happen • Watch your true running balance update with every entry • See every account's combined total at the top, with card debt subtracted • See any month at a glance, free: money in, money out, your net, and your biggest expense • Track credit cards alongside your bank accounts: what you owe, the credit you have left, your APR, and the day payment is due • See how much of a card's limit you are using at a glance, so you know when a balance is creeping up • Decide what interest costs you: your card shows a projected charge on its due day, and you accept, adjust, or skip it. Nothing posts unless you say so. • Add a transaction from your home screen with the Quick Add widget • Add a transaction hands-free with Siri, the Shortcuts app, or Spotlight • Mark items cleared one at a time, fly through a statement with Quick Reconcile, or balance against your bank with the guided Reconcile to Statement flow • Void a canceled or torn-up check and keep it on the record while the money returns to your balance • Tag transactions with as many labels as you like, and reuse any tag with one tap • Filter by type or status (Uncleared, Cleared, or All) and search your whole register by payee, amount, memo, or tag • Schedule recurring bills and income with reminders, and let them post on the right day • Earn interest on savings: choose the day it posts each month, and see the total at a glance • Get your next check number suggested for you when you write a check • Scan a check or receipt to fill in the details automatically • Track a different currency per account • Keep every account in sync across your devices with iCloud, free • Back up your entire register to a file and restore it anytime • Lock the app with Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode • Add your bank's logo to personalize each account BASIC CHECKBOOK PREMIUM Two ways to upgrade, and one of them you pay for exactly once. Lifetime Premium is a single purchase that never renews and never expires. If you would rather not rent the software you balance your accounts with, take that one. A yearly plan is there if you prefer it. Both unlock: • Unlimited accounts: keep checking, savings, credit cards, and more in one place • Full Monthly Recap: the tags and payees you spent the most on, plus save any month as a PDF • Payoff plan: set a monthly payment on any credit card and see the payoff date, the interest it costs, and the final payment • Projected balance: see where your balance is headed from your scheduled and recurring activity • Receipt photos: attach a photo of any receipt to the transaction it belongs to • Spending analytics: charts, trends, budgets, and period comparisons • Monthly PDF statements: export clean, bank-style statements for any date range • CSV import and export: bring your history in, or take it anywhere • Color themes and app icons: make Checkbook yours with premium palettes and home-screen icons Basic Checkbook doesn't connect to your bank. It never reads your transactions automatically or stores your credentials anywhere. It's your ledger: private, accurate, and completely in your control.
