Type in your pay schedule and your bills once. BillsClear shows the current pay period, a one-tap paid checklist, and the one number that matters: what's left after every bill in the period — before payday, not after. THE ONE NUMBER THAT MATTERS Open the app and see it immediately: your next payday, every bill due before it, and exactly what's left once they're all paid. No spreadsheet, no mental math. MARK BILLS PAID — AND THEY STAY PAID A paid bill is a direct, immediate save to your phone. No server, no sync to fail, no "paid bills showing as unpaid again after an update" — the bug we found reported again and again against other bill trackers. NO BANK LINK. NO ACCOUNT. NOTHING TO LEAK. Type in your bills — name, amount, due date. That's it. No Plaid, no bank login, no account numbers stored anywhere. Your bills live only on this device. REMINDERS THAT RESPECT A PAID BILL A nudge the evening before a bill is due, skipped automatically once it's marked paid, and a payday-morning summary of what's left. SEE YOUR PAYDAY HISTORY Swipe back through past pay periods and see what was left in each one. EVERY BILL IN ITS OWN CURRENCY Paid in dollars, paying rent in rupees, pesos or lira? Give each bill and each pay schedule its own currency. BillsClear converts at a daily exchange rate and shows what's left in the currency you choose, broken down by currency. With Pro, pin your bank's own rate and it always wins over the daily one. FREE TO START Your pay schedule and up to 5 bills are free, for good: every reminder, every currency, no ads. BillsClear Pro adds unlimited bills, a second income schedule, exportable bill history, pinned exchange rates and custom reminder times. No ads. No bank connection. Your bills stay on your phone.
