Debt Tracker is a simple IOU manager: keep track of who owes you money, what you've lent, and how much you owe. Record amounts, follow payments, and review everything in one place, without unnecessary complexity. You can create personal debts in multiple currencies and assign them to contacts created inside the app. If you want, you can also sync those contacts with your device address book to import their name and photo, always as an optional feature. This makes it easier to keep everything organized and adapt the app to the way you already work. Key features: - Manage personal debts in multiple currencies - Track every IOU, from the first amount to the last payment - Add partial payments and record multiple payments for the same debt - Check balances by contact and see a global balance - Filter, search, and sort your debt history the way you prefer - Add due dates and set reminders before each payment - Create backups, import data, and export your information whenever you need - Offline app, no account, and your data always under your control > Real payment tracking and up-to-date balances: Each debt can include multiple payments. You can add partial payments as many times as you need and always see how much has been paid and how much is still pending. When the total of all payments reaches the full amount, the debt is automatically marked as paid. Unlike a static list, it always reflects the real state of every debt. > Two ways to review your information: Most people start with the contacts view because it is the fastest way to review debts, answer "who owes me?", and see who you owe. You can quickly review each contact balance and the overall balance at the top of the screen. You also get a dedicated debts tab with search, history, and advanced filters. There you can see all debts, only pending debts, only money owed to you, or only what you owe. You can also change the sorting to review recent changes, amounts, or other criteria. > Due dates and reminders: One of the most useful parts of the app is its due date management. You can add a due date to each debt, see how much time is left, and configure reminders in advance. That way, the app not only stores your records, but also helps you stay ahead of upcoming payments. > Privacy, backups, and exports: This app works with a local database. Your data never leaves your device unless you explicitly decide to take it out yourself, for example through a database export, a CSV export, a clipboard copy, and more. You can also create backups and import your information whenever you need. If you want a private offline app with no account, you stay in control at all times. In short, Debt Tracker brings your IOUs, payments, due dates, reminders, and data export together in one place, so you always know who owes you and what you owe.

Payment Tracker

A payment tracker that respects your money and your privacy. If you have ever lost track of a forgotten subscription, missed a credit card due date, or wondered how much your monthly bills really add up to, PayLog is built for you. It is the calm alternative to wallet apps, budget spreadsheets and aggressive personal finance dashboards. Every recurring charge, loan installment and one-time payment lives in one place, with no account, no cloud upload, no spreadsheet copy-paste and no third-party server in the loop. The philosophy is simple: a bill tracker should help you see what is coming, not turn your spending into a data product. It is built for adults who want a subscription manager and bill reminder that fits invisibly into their week — students, freelancers, parents juggling household expenses, expats with cards in two currencies. Every feature described below is unlocked only with an auto-renewable subscription purchased inside the app. New users receive a 3 day free trial; you may cancel anytime during the trial to avoid being charged. Open the app and the Pay-To-Do list shows exactly what is due today, this week and overdue, sorted by card or account. Bills, subscriptions and installment tracker entries sit side by side, so the streaming service, the rent, the loan tracker for your car and the recurring payments for your gym are all in one calm view. Each item carries a due date, amount, account, category and remaining months on a loan, with smart reminders firing the right number of days before each charge. The calendar view spans the year, charts break down monthly bills by category, and Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep your next payment glanceable from the wrist or the bedside. Multi-currency support with automatic conversion handles travel, foreign cards and expat life, while a quick-add flow logs a payment in seconds. The expense tracker side of PayLog totals outflow by account, by category, by month and by year, surfacing patterns like the subscription tracker bills you forgot or the seasonal spikes you keep missing. You can pause a subscription manager entry while you cancel it, mark an installment paid early, and roll one-time payments into trend charts without losing recurring averages. A budget app feel comes from per-category caps and gentle warnings as you approach the limit, never alarms or shaming. The app ships in 39 languages with full accessibility, VoiceOver and Dynamic Type. Your payment log stays on this device — no account, no cloud upload, no analytics, no third-party server reading your finances. Everything works offline, including reminders, the calendar view, the widgets and the charts. It is designed for people who want a payments app that feels like a notebook on their nightstand, not another finance dashboard demanding their attention. Unlock with Pro: • Unlimited payments beyond the free 5 active items • All widgets, themes and premium app icons • Advanced analytics, budgets and year-over-year trends • PDF and CSV export for taxes or your accountant • Custom categories per card or account Subscription Pricing & Terms Features require a subscription. Pricing and terms available in-app. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Manage or cancel your subscription and free-trial conversion in Settings > Apple ID after purchase. Any unused portion of the free-trial period will be forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
