Check your later debits Deferin records and manages payments across every method — credit cards, debit cards, e-money and more. Version 2 was rebuilt from the ground up with the latest iOS technology for smooth performance and easy operation. [Easy-on-the-eyes design] Choose from four text sizes: Auto, Standard, Large, and Extra Large. The setting applies across the whole app — entry screens, selection sheets, even the help pages — for a display that's kind to your eyes. [Debit management] See "before debit" and "already debited" on one screen. Totals are shown across three periods: current, next, and future. Switch payment status with a single button. Reconcile mode lets you match your card company's statement against your records while watching the difference. [Fast entry] When you enter a new payment, "Quote from History" automatically suggests similar past records. Unfilled fields such as label, payment method, and tags are filled in together, cutting the number of entry steps dramatically. [Recording payments] Record amount, date used, payment method, label, tags, and notes all at once. For recurring payments, you can also use repeat settings. [Organize with tags] Set multiple tags freely to categorize. Combine them with filters by card, by date, or "has blanks." [Data management] Supports export and import in JSON format. Use it to migrate data when you change devices or to keep an external backup. Great for people who: - Juggle several cards and find managing debit dates a hassle - Want simple, hands-on management without automatic linking - Are looking for an app with large, easy-to-read text
