Paycheck Pilot
Read full descriptionHide full description
PaycheckPilot is your paycheck-to-paycheck financial command center. Instead of vague monthly budgets, it shows you exactly what bills are due between each paycheck ā and whether you have enough to cover them. PAYCHECK PLANNING See every bill due from each paycheck in one clear view. A smart verdict system tells you if you're good, tight, or underwater ā and when you're short, it ranks your bills by priority and tells you exactly what to defer until next payday. BILL MANAGEMENT Track every bill with due dates, categories, amounts, and autopay status. Add bills manually, scan paper bills with your camera, paste e-bills from email, or share them from any app. Supports monthly, bi-weekly, semi-annual, annual, and one-time bills. Split large bills like rent or mortgage across multiple paychecks. CREDIT CARD INTELLIGENCE Monitor balances, credit limits, utilization, and rewards for all your cards. PaycheckPilot recommends the best card for every bill and purchase based on cashback tiers, billing cycle timing, and sign-up bonus progress. See payoff projections with month-by-month amortization schedules. HOUSING TRACKER Whether you rent, own, or manage a rental property ā PaycheckPilot adapts. Track mortgage payments with principal vs. interest breakdowns, manage roommates and rent splits, or monitor tenant payments and net rental income. SMART RECOMMENDATIONS Get context-aware tips throughout the app: which card to use, when a statement is closing soon, whether obligations are too high, and more. Pro-tip banners appear right where you need them. DOCUMENT SCANNER Photograph paper bills and let on-device OCR extract the details automatically. Confidence indicators show you which fields to double-check. All processing happens on your iPhone ā nothing is uploaded. CALENDAR VIEW See all paydays, bill due dates, statement closes, and housing payments on an interactive monthly calendar with color-coded dots. HISTORY & ANALYTICS Review monthly financial snapshots, track spending trends over time, and search your full payment history. MULTIPLE INCOME STREAMS Paid from more than one source? Add all your income streams ā PaycheckPilot merges them into a unified timeline. Track household member contributions and extra cash too. PRIVACY FIRST All data stays on your device. No accounts, no servers, no analytics, no tracking. Optional iCloud backup syncs to YOUR personal iCloud account ā the developer can never see your data. iCLOUD SYNC & SHARING Back up automatically to iCloud and restore on any device. Share your financial data with a partner or family member through iCloud for real-time household collaboration. ONE-TIME PURCHASE Try free for 7 days with full access to every feature. Then unlock permanently with a single purchase ā no subscriptions, no recurring charges, ever. PaycheckPilot was built for real people managing real bills. Take control of your finances, one paycheck at a time.
