Basic Checkbook
Know Your Balance.
Always.
A modern checkbook register that brings clarity to your finances. Track every transaction, reconcile in seconds, and always know exactly where you stand.
Your bank account,
your way.
No bank logins. No credentials on a server. Basic Checkbook is the straightforward digital register your parents' bank used to print, built for a phone, with a running balance that updates instantly.
Most finance apps want to connect to your bank, push notifications at you, and sell you services. Basic Checkbook doesn't. It's just a ledger: fast, private, and yours, synced across your devices with iCloud and nothing else.
Real Running Balance
See your true balance update with every entry, not just what's cleared at the bank.
Recurring Transactions
Schedule bills, income, and transfers so nothing catches you off guard, including twice a month on two exact dates.
Reconcile to a Statement
Enter your statement's ending balance, check off what matches, and watch the difference drop to zero.
Multiple Accounts
Checking, savings, cash, credit, keep every account in one register, each with its own balance and currency.
Scan to Fill
Snap a photo of a check or receipt and the amount, date, and payee fill themselves in. No typing it all out by hand.
Search & Tag
Tag transactions your own way, then find any entry by payee, amount, date, memo, or tag. Past entries are always one tap away.
Import & Export
CSV import and export, bring your history with you, or take it anywhere.
iCloud Sync
Your register stays backed up and in sync through iCloud, no account, no servers, no setup.
Private by Design
No bank logins, no credentials on a server, no analytics, no tracking. It's your ledger, in your control.
Smart Projected Balance
Forecast your next 30, 60, or 90 days. Basic Checkbook scans 90 days of activity and surfaces recurring bills, paychecks, and subscriptions automatically. Tap any Detected item to lock it in.
Light & Dark Mode
Choose System, Light, or Dark in Settings, Appearance. Bright and clean by day, easy on the eyes at night.
Receipt Photos
Snap a receipt with the camera or pull one from your library, then attach it to any transaction. Pinch to zoom, double-tap to fit. The paper trail follows the entry.
Face ID & Passcode
Lock the register behind Face ID, Touch ID, or a custom passcode. Biometric data stays with Apple. We never see it.
Spending Analytics
Charts, trends, budgets, and period comparisons that show where your money actually goes.
PDF Statements
Export clean, bank-style PDF statements for any date range.
Themes & App Icons
Recolor the whole register with theme packs, then pick a matching home-screen icon.
Add by Voice
Log a transaction hands-free with Siri, the Shortcuts app, or Spotlight.
