## What is Register?

Register is a checkbook register for people who want to know where their money
actually went — not a budgeting app that nags, and not a service that wants your bank
login.

There is no account to create and no server holding your ledger. Everything lives on
your device. If you want your register on more than one device, it syncs through your
own iCloud Drive or Dropbox — the app writes to its own folder there and nowhere else.

WHAT'S IN IT

• Multiple accounts — bank, credit card, cash and other, each with its own currency,
  icon and color
• A real register — running balance on every row, day-by-day grouping, and the
  accounting convention that deposits post before withdrawals on a shared date
• Transfers as proper two-sided pairs, so moving money between your own accounts never
  distorts a balance — or your reports
• Split transactions — divide one purchase across as many categories as it deserves
• Categories with sub-categories, plus tags for the things categories can't express:
  a trip, an event, anything reimbursable
• Per-category budgets with month-to-date spend and color-coded progress
• Recurring bills — daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. Let a bill post itself and catch
  up any periods you missed, or just remind you when it's due. A bill on the 31st stays
  on the last day of each month instead of drifting to the 28th after February.
• One place for every recurring bill, with its next due date. Stop one and the bills it
  had already scheduled ahead come out of your register too.
• Upcoming bills on the dashboard, and reminders for bills due in the coming week
• Favorites — save a purchase you repeat and post it again in one tap
• Receipt photos from the camera or your library
• Twelve reports — cash flow, spending and income by category, daily trend, net worth,
  spending by account and by tag, top payees, budget vs actual, cumulative this month,
  year-over-year and a rolling six-month view — filtered by period and by account
• A month-grid calendar — tap any day to see what happened on it
• Search and filter the register by payee, status, amount window or date range
• An in-field calculator: type 12.50 + 3.99 in any amount box
• CSV and QIF export, and a CSV import that reads the files banks and finance apps
  export and warns you before bringing in transactions you already have
• A home screen widget for balances at a glance
• Optional PIN or Face ID lock, which also hides balances in the widget, hides the
  app-switcher preview and redacts bill reminders on the lock screen
• Daily local backups, kept for a week
• Built for iPad — a two-pane layout puts your account list beside the register
• English, Spanish, French, German and Italian

FREE, AND WHAT THE UNLOCK ADDS

Register is free to use, and generous about it: three accounts, five custom categories
on top of the built-in set, and every core feature — the register itself, budgets,
reports, tags, recurring bills, the calendar, favorites, CSV import, backups and the
app lock.

One purchase, made once, with no subscription, adds: sync through your own iCloud Drive
or Dropbox, unlimited accounts, split transactions, unlimited custom categories, CSV and
QIF export, multi-currency conversion, alternative themes, and the home screen widget.

PRIVACY

No advertising. No data brokers. No bank connections. Your ledger is not uploaded
anywhere except the iCloud Drive or Dropbox folder you choose to connect, under your
own account.
