Quillbook is a check register you keep in your pocket. Enter checks, deposits, withdrawals, and fees; mark each one cleared when it shows up at the bank; and see two balances at all times — what your register says, and what has actually cleared. Made for people who want a simple, readable, trustworthy record: • LARGE, CLEAR TYPE — big, bold balances, high contrast, and entries and labels that grow with your iPhone's text size. • TWO BALANCES, ALWAYS — your register balance and your cleared balance, side by side. • ONE-TAP CLEARING — when an item clears, tap its "Pending" label to mark it Cleared (tap again to undo). Pending items stay visible. • CHECK NUMBERS — automatic numbering for checks, with a warning on duplicates. • SEARCH AND FILTER — find entries by payee, type, or pending/cleared status. • BACKUP AND RECOVERY CENTER — every save is atomic and checksummed, and the app keeps redundant snapshots on your device. Back up your full ledger to Files anytime, and restore from a backup with a clear preview first. • CSV EXPORT — your records are always yours. Export any account as a spreadsheet-ready CSV file, free of charge. • PRIVATE BY DESIGN — no sign-up, no bank connection, no ads, no tracking. The app's only network traffic is with the App Store, for purchase, restore, and purchase-status checks (nothing from your ledger or personal data is sent by the app); your records stay on your device. The free version includes one account with every feature above. Quillbook Pro — a single one-time purchase, not a subscription — unlocks multiple accounts at the same time. Quillbook is a personal record-keeping tool. It does not connect to your bank and does not provide financial advice. Balances reflect what you enter.
