BillLog is a personal finance app built around itemized records, tags, and custom boards. Instead of saving only a total, you can break a bill into individual items and record quantities, unit prices, categories, and prices after discounts—so you can see where your money actually went. Categories answer “What kind of expense was this?” Tags connect expenses to real-life contexts. Group bills for a trip, home project, household, or subscription with tags, then use custom boards to follow spending, income, trends, and budget progress over time. Key features: - Receipt-assisted entry: scan a receipt or import an image from Photos to create an editable draft - Itemized records: split one bill into multiple items with names, quantities, unit prices, and categories - Discount allocation: distribute an order-level discount across items for more accurate totals and reports - Tag organization: attach multiple tags to a bill and organize spending by household, trip, project, or any context you choose - Custom boards: combine tags into focused boards for spending, income, trends, and budget progress - Flexible insights: review your finances by date, category, and tag - Recurring bills: manage daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly expenses and get reminders before they are due - Data control: sync with iCloud, import or export JSON and Excel files, and protect access with Face ID - Local web access: open the Web service to view bills, dashboards, and boards from a browser on the same network Useful for: - Grocery shopping: save individual items and keep categories accurate after discounts - Travel and home projects: group expenses with tags and monitor the budget on a dedicated board - Subscriptions and fixed expenses: track recurring charges and see what is coming up - Household and project finances: review income and spending together in one context From quickly saving a purchase to understanding a long-running project, BillLog turns everyday transactions into records you can actually review.
