DiBills keeps track of your bills and tells you what to pay, and when. Open it and you see the whole month: what is overdue, what is coming up, and what you have already paid. WHAT IT DOES • Recurring bills: monthly, every two months, yearly, or one-off. • Fixed or variable amounts. For a variable bill you enter an estimate, then replace it with the real figure when you pay. • Partial payments: enter what you actually paid, and the rest stays due. • Reports by month, quarter or year, broken down by category and compared with the previous period. • A history for every provider: what you paid each time, and how much it changed. • One summary, at the frequency and time you choose. Not a separate notification for every bill. • Categories with their own colour: five are ready to use, and you can add your own. • Lei, euros, dollars, pounds or your own currency, with the symbol you type, even mixed within the same month. • Romanian, English, German. KEEP YOUR PAYMENT HISTORY When you no longer have a bill, only the future stops. Everything you have paid stays in your history and in your reports. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Bills, payments and categories are stored locally, on your own phone. DiBills does not require an account and does not send this data to any server. You can manage your bills without an internet connection; the App Store is contacted only about the subscription. You can export a backup as a single file, keep it wherever you like, and load it onto your next phone. THE SUBSCRIPTION A monthly subscription that renews on its own until you cancel it in your App Store account settings. The price and currency are shown by the App Store before you confirm. For eligible accounts the first 30 days are free, once only. Eligibility is decided by the App Store, not by the app. If the subscription ends, the app stays readable: you can still see your bills, payments and reports, and you can still export a backup at any time, free of charge.
