Scratch, Vault, Budget, Notes+, and Kanban. Built for people who'd rather think than juggle apps and for those ready to start tracking. — Scratch — Type anything. As you write, a chip appears suggesting where the line belongs, tap it to promote. Credentials go to Vault, money goes to Budget, ideas go to Notes+, tasks go to Kanban. One note keeps your mind clear, the modules keep your day organized. — Vault — Logins, cards, and credential keys, locked behind your device's authentication and stored only on your device. No account, no sync, no tracking. Real device-level encryption underneath as masterfile just makes it pleasant to use. — Budget — Multi-currency budgeting that actually understands how Filipinos, especially freelancers and remote workers earn. ₱, $, ¥, €, and 20+ more currencies tracked in parallel. Net worth stacked by currency, category-level budgets, calendar view, and a calm pie chart of where the month went. — Notes+ — Plain notes for the quick stuff, rich notes when you need them. Folders, tags, internal linking, checklists, bookmarks, document-scanning, camera, attachments. Reading mode opens each note like a printed page you set yourself. Highlights, links, and headings all preserved where you put them. — Kanban — Every project, sorted into columns. Priority flags, due dates, color labels, archived cards, and an aging indicator that quietly tells you which cards have been waiting too long. — Widgets, Notifications, the rest — 19 home-screen widgets across all five modules. Credit card due dates, budget thresholds, friendly nudges. Soft prompts to keep you tracking, organizing, and checking in. Every alert opt-in, every one off by default. — How masterfile stays calm — No account. No tracking. No ads. masterfile lives on your device, owned by you. One purchase unlocks every module, every widget, every alert. Yours forever, no subscription, no renewal. Launch special — one-time unlock at the launch price, until July 31. Regular pricing returns on August 1. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | masterfile unlock | $2.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 2.0 — 2026-08-02 v2.0 is here with major feature updates and improvements! *Spotlight Search — Find what you need without even opening the app. Search entries in Budget, Notes+, and Kanban directly from iOS Spotlight. *Share Extension — Capture ideas the moment they happen.

Vault can now generate strong, unique passwords for you, right when you need one. *Password Strength Analysis — Know exactly how protected you are. Vault now analyzes every saved password and shows you its strength at a glance. *Security Health — Your vault, watching your back.

Scratch now shows rotating example prompts to help spark your next thought. *Find and Replace — Edit smarter, not harder. Notes+ now supports find and replace, so you can update text across a note in seconds. *Export PDF / Print — Some notes deserve to leave the screen. Plain notes in Notes+ can now be exported as a polished PDF or sent directly to print. *Subtasks via Checklists — Break big tasks down. Kanban cards now support subtasks in the form of checklists, so you can track progress one small win at a time. *Activity Log via Comments — Every update, remembered. Kanban cards now track a full activity log, and comments can be added directly to each card. *Filter by Label, Color, and Status — Find your focus instantly. Kanban boards can now be filtered by priority, color, or status, so busy boards stay clear. *Master Currency — Budgeting without borders.
