Your bank app shows what has been 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, 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, and transfers as they happen
• Don't want to enter transactions manually? Just take a picture of your receipt
• See your true running balance update with every entry
• Mark transactions as cleared to reconcile with your bank statement
• Filter by transaction type or status — Uncleared, Cleared, or All
• Search your entire register instantly by payee or memo
• Set up recurring transactions so scheduled bills and income never catch you off guard
• Tag transactions your way — add custom labels like "groceries" or "vacation" and filter by tag instantly
• Get reminded before bills hit — set per-transaction push notifications so you're never caught off guard
• Import transaction history from another checkbook app via CSV
• Export your register as a CSV for your accountant or your own records
• Lock the app with Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode
• Add your bank's logo to personalize each account
BASIC CHECKBOOK PREMIUM
Upgrade to unlock the full experience:
• Multiple accounts — manage checking, savings, and more in one place
• CSV import & export — bring your history with you, or take it anywhere
• Spending analytics — see where your money goes with charts, trends, and period comparisons
• Monthly PDF statements — export professional bank-style statements for any date range
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.
