Keepbook is a checkbook register for people who enter their own transactions and want the balance to be right. Every row shows the balance after it, the way a paper register does. Amounts are kept in whole cents, so the balance is never off by a penny. YOUR ENTRIES ARE KEPT SAFE - A backup file is written every day you use the app and kept for 30 days. - Backups are plain files in your own iCloud Drive. Restore any of them with two taps. - Restoring saves your current register first, so a restore can be undone. WHAT IT DOES - As many accounts as you need: checking, savings, credit cards, cash. - Reconcile against your bank statement and see the difference as you tick entries off. - Recurring entries: weekly, every 2 weeks, every 4 weeks, twice a month, monthly, quarterly, twice a year, yearly. - Transfers between accounts, shown in both registers. - Search by description, amount, check number or memo. - Lock with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. - Dark mode and large text. COMING FROM ACCOUNTS 2 OR ACCOUNTS 3 Export each account as CSV and import it. You see the entry count and the ending balance before anything is saved. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO No ads. No bank linking. No account to create. Nothing leaves your devices except through your own iCloud. PRICE Free: one account, 50 entries, and a backup every day. One payment of $9.99 adds unlimited accounts and entries, sync between your iPhone and iPad through your own iCloud, export to CSV, and print. There is no subscription.
