Photograph a paper statement, and the app finally notices when you've paid: • Scan a statement with your camera — point it at a paper statement and Debt Descent reads the balance, APR, minimum payment and due date off it, then shows you every figure to confirm before anything is saved (iPhone and iPad) • Everything stays on your device: the page is read by Apple's on-device text recognition and Apple Intelligence, and nothing is uploaded • Statement import now finds the rate — on a multi-page statement the APR often sits on the last page, behind pages of transactions, and it was being missed • On a Mac, Import statement now takes a photo as well as a PDF • Your debts stop asking to be paid twice — a debt you've paid this month says so, and drops out of Upcoming until next month • Log a payment straight from the Upcoming list, including a grouped payment • Payment plans can record the fee the plan keeps — enter the amount that reaches your creditors and the fee separately, and the app shows the total your bank will actually draft, without pretending the fee pays down debt • A debt paid through a plan now shows the plan's payment date, not the date its own statement asks for • History adds up: total, minimum payments, and tagged extra, so the three reconcile on screen • Deadline warnings for 0% store promos appear when they matter — a deadline a year out that your plan already clears no longer sits at the top of the app, and comes back on its own if your plan stops clearing it in time • Deferred-interest promos read correctly on the debt list, instead of quoting a couple of dollars of interest beside a warning about hundreds • Load sample data is offered only on an empty app, so it can't replace real debts by accident
