Keep your checkbook register fast even after years of use — archive older entries anytime, with your balances always staying exactly the same. Private and offline.
Pocket Register is your no-frills check register, right in your pocket.
Whether you're managing your main account, a cash stash, or a side budget, Pocket Register makes it easy to:
- Log deposits, withdrawals, and transfers
- View your current running balance
- Set up recurring transactions — weekly, monthly, or twice a month (perfect for paydays)
- Plan ahead: see upcoming bills, debts, and what's safe to spend before your next paycheck
- Scan receipts with the built-in document scanner
- Set monthly budgets per category, with progress bars
- Get smart category suggestions as you type
- Add quick-fill templates for repeat transactions
- Reconcile against your bank statement
- Stay organized with memo notes, splits, and date selection
- Works fully offline by default. iCloud Sync is available as an optional Pro feature.
Plan Ahead: The optional Plan tab shows your projected balance, upcoming bills and debts, and what's safe to spend before payday — built from your own recurring transactions. It stays out of the way until you need it, so a simple register stays simple.
Beautiful Design: Cleanly designed for iPhone and iPad, with full light and dark mode support.
Privacy First: No data collection, no tracking, no bank linking. Your transactions stay on your device by default. iCloud Sync is opt-in and uses your private iCloud account, so only you can see your data.
Lightweight: Simple by design, built for speed and clarity. No bank linking, no subscriptions.
Widget Support: View your balance and recent transactions at a glance. Home Screen widgets in three sizes, plus Lock Screen widgets so your balance is always one tap away.

This is a great app that does exactly what says: no-frills record keeping. Clean and easy to use. And the ability to also use a desktop is 🤌🏻. The price is more than fair. No subscription, just a flat and reasonable price to support the creator. Some things I’d like to see added: a memorized payee list and an option to auto insert a decimal point when entering amounts. Also, I’d like to be able to back up my data to Dropbox.
Wow perfect app now

I left a review last week saying this could be a 5 star if it had a memo aside from a payee line and a running balance below each transaction. After I did an update today they added exactly what I said wow. Please add an all account overview as an option to see the whole accounts on the front page. Thanks!!!!
Developer Response
Chris, thank you for the update! Honestly your original feedback is what pushed those features up the queue — the payee/memo split and the per-row running balance both shipped because reviewers like you flagged them. Glad they made a difference. Keep the ideas coming.
Awesome

Just right for a simple person like me. Guy does not share data!!
Developer Response
Thanks, that means a lot! Simple is what I was going for, so I'm glad it's working for you.
• Fixed a bug where editing a recurring transaction's amount with "this and all future" could change the amount on other unrelated recurring transactions
• Recurring transactions are now correctly identified by payee, so different bills/debts on the same account no longer interfere with each other
