If you're managing compliance deadlines for dozens of clients, you already know the risk: one missed Sales Tax filing, one late 1099, one forgotten LLC fee โ€” and a client has a problem you can't undo. BookKeep is built for bookkeepers who carry the compliance calendar for multiple clients and need everything organized in one place. Add each client, then attach their specific obligations: Sales Tax, Payroll, 1099s, W-2s, Estimated Tax, LLC Fees, Franchise Tax, Insurance Renewals, Property Tax, and more. Set the recurrence, due date, and reminder timing so every client deadline stays visible. BookKeep helps you see what is overdue, what is due this week, and what is coming next. Add local reminders on your iPhone or iPad so important deadlines stay front and center. When a deadline is handled, mark it complete and add notes or a confirmation number. Every completed obligation is logged, giving you a cleaner follow-through history for each client. BookKeep is local-first. Your client list and deadline tracking stay on the device where you use the app. The free plan supports up to 5 clients. BookKeep Pro unlocks unlimited clients and export tools for $5.99/month, $59.99/year, or $99 as a one-time lifetime purchase. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://bookkeep-privacy.netlify.app BookKeep is the focused compliance calendar for bookkeepers who need to know what is due, what is done, and what needs attention next.

Close The Loop โ€” Task Circles That Actually Close Most task apps give you a list. Close The Loop gives you a picture. Every goal becomes an animated circle that fills in as you complete the steps inside it โ€” and snaps shut the moment you're done. See your momentum, not just your backlog. Each loop shows exactly how much is left. Subtasks animate into place as you check them off, giving you the satisfying visual proof that you're making real progress โ€” not just moving items around. Know your capacity before you overcommit. Set your weekly hour budget, then watch Close The Loop flag you when your open loops are pushing past it. Every subtask carries a time estimate, and the app totals it up so you can plan honestly instead of optimistically. One place for now, next, and someday. Active loops live on your home screen. Loops you're not ready for yet go to the Backlog โ€” out of the way, but never forgotten. When the time is right, move them to open with a tap. Built for how you actually work. Animated loop rings that fill as subtasks complete Per-subtask time estimates with a live capacity bar Backlog stage to park work without losing it Daily push notification reminders at the hour you choose Full dark and light mode, switching automatically with your system Avatar and profile personalization Analytics dashboard showing completion streaks and trends Multi-device sync โ€” start on one phone, pick up on another Free for 30 days. Then just $1.99/month. Everything is included in the trial โ€” no feature gates, no artificial limits. After 30 days, keep full access for less than a coffee a month.
