See every bill and subscription at a glance, on a calendar and right on your home screen widget. Rent, phone, streaming, insurance, that one gym membership: every due date in one place, plus a reminder the day before each payment. Payment Calendar is a simple bill tracker and subscription tracker built around a calendar. You add your recurring payments once, and the app shows you what is due, when, and how much is still left to pay this month. YOUR MONTH AT A GLANCE • Every bill and subscription on a calendar by due date • Monthly total plus the remaining amount still to pay • Tap to check off a payment as paid, and it drops out of "remaining" • A reminder the day before each payment is due • Home screen widgets that show what is due next without opening the app (Premium) NO BANK LOGIN NEEDED You enter each bill yourself. No linking cards or bank accounts, nothing to hand over. It takes a few seconds per payment, and your financial accounts stay out of it.
