Buckmemo fills in the category, account, and note when the same amount comes up again, using your earlier records. The first time, type an amount and save. Category, account, and note can wait. Rent, a phone bill, or a daily fare can repeat on its own, with a reminder before it is due. ● The same amount fills in the category, account, and note from your own history. ● A new record needs only an amount, so the second time is faster. ● Repeating income and expenses, plus reminders for bills. ● Cash, bank, assets, liabilities, and equity in one set of books. ● More than one currency. ● Cash balance on the Home Screen, search from Spotlight, and a shortcut to add an expense. ● Search words you have used before, and text that follows the system text size. A subscription adds copy record, export, another ledger, new photo or PDF attachments, and the income statement. Recording, browsing, and the charts for categories, net income, and cash flow stay available without one.
