## What is Balance Forward?

Your checkbook register, on your iPhone. Record checks, deposits and spending, then balance your own records against your statement to the penny.

TWO BALANCES, CLEARLY EXPLAINED
See what has cleared and what remains after outstanding entries. Tap a balance to see how it was calculated.

HISTORY YOU CAN FOLLOW
Edits create a new version of an entry. Earlier versions remain in the register’s history, and voided entries stay visible so you can see what changed.

RECONCILE WITH CONFIDENCE
Enter your statement balances, mark the entries that cleared, and compare the difference. When the numbers do not match, reconciliation hints can help you investigate.

FREE FOR ONE CHECKBOOK
Keep unlimited entries in one account. Use check numbers, categories, search, split entries, reconciliation, CSV import and export, dated backups, entry history, and an optional app lock using your device authentication.

ONE OPTIONAL UNLOCK
A single one-time in-app purchase unlocks multiple accounts, transfers, recurring entries, check writing and printing, and reports. There is no subscription or free trial. The App Store shows the price in your local currency before you buy. Restore Purchases is available in More.

YOUR RECORDS, YOUR FILES
Balance Forward does not connect to your bank and does not require a Balance Forward account. Register data is stored on your device. You can export CSV files, save check PDFs and make dated backup files in Files. Sharing or moving a file is your choice. Keep a separate backup before changing phones or removing the app.

CHECK WRITING AND PRINTING
Prepare checks and print onto supported check stock, or save a PDF. Use the alignment setup and a test sheet before printing a real check. Check acceptance depends on your bank, paper and printer setup.

BUILT FOR READABILITY
Large text, clear labels and accessible controls help you keep your register comfortably.

No ads. No bank login. No subscription.
