The app makes it easier for you to manage your receivables and payables. You can sort your created invoices by due date and analyze your payment obligations. It is possible to assign the individual invoice amounts to variably definable time intervals in order to identify which amounts are due for payment within which periods. Graphical evaluations visualize the situation. The analysis is based on your CSV file, which must contain three pieces of information: 1. Debtors (your debtors) or creditors (your creditors) 2. Invoice amounts 3. Due dates The evaluated due date structure can be exported in CSV format. The app is primarily aimed at small and medium-sized entrepreneurs and external auditors in factoring. Procedure: Specify whether you want to evaluate your receivables or payables. Specify which number format (e.g., thousand or decimal separator), which date format, and which separator your CSV file uses (e.g., comma or semicolon). This allows you to remain independent of the export format of your accounting program. Would you like to know which invoices are 30, 60, or 90 days past due? Decide for yourself which time intervals are of interest to you. The individual periods can be freely selected. Then simply upload a list of outstanding receivables or payables to the app. Before doing so, make sure that your list contains the payers or payees, the respective invoice amounts, and the corresponding due dates. Alternatively, you can generate sample data to test the app's functions. Now view the invoice amounts aggregated per debtor or creditor, which have been automatically assigned to the due date intervals you defined. Review your individual due date structure in various chart types. Who is your largest debtor or creditor? Graphical evaluations of concentrations facilitate analysis. Export the due date structure table to further process the information in other applications.

Brote is the personal finance app that gives every dollar a job. Most budgeting apps just tell you what you already spent. Brote helps you plan ahead โ€” so you always know how much to set aside each week for rent, a car payment, groceries, or anything else that's coming. ENVELOPES THAT FUND THEMSELVES Create an envelope for any recurring cost, link it to a bill you already track, and Brote tells you exactly how much to save per week. When the bill gets paid, the envelope automatically draws down โ€” no manual bookkeeping. KNOW WHAT'S ACTUALLY FREE TO SPEND See your real balance minus everything you've already set aside. No more guessing whether that grocery run is really affordable. AUTOMATIC CATEGORIZATION Brote learns from your spending habits and recognizes common merchants out of the box โ€” log a purchase at McDonald's or Starbucks and it's already filed under the right category. RECEIPT SCANNING & BULK IMPORT Scan a paper receipt or upload a screenshot of your bank statement โ€” Brote reads the merchant, amount, and date automatically, and lets you review and edit every entry before it's saved. BUDGETS THAT ALERT YOU Set a monthly limit per category and get notified the moment you're approaching it โ€” or have gone over. SPENDING TRENDS See exactly how this week and this month compare to the last, right on your dashboard โ€” plus a notification when a new week or month wraps up. SPLIT TRANSACTIONS One purchase, multiple categories โ€” divide a single transaction across as many categories as you need. GOALS & RECURRING BILLS Save toward one-time goals, track recurring subscriptions and bills, and even have Brote log them automatically when they're due. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your financial data lives in your own private iCloud account โ€” synced across your devices via Apple's CloudKit, never sent to any other server. Receipt scanning happens entirely on your device. BUILT FOR IPHONE Face ID protection, Home Screen widgets, haptic feedback, full accessibility support, and support for Spanish and English. Download Brote and start giving every dollar a job.
