Ever lend money to a friend and forget how much? Or realize you missed a bill payment because it slipped through the cracks? Debtly is the personal debt tracker that keeps every IOU, loan, bill, and receivable organized in one clean, private place — so nothing gets lost. Whether you're tracking money you lent to friends, managing loans between family members, or keeping tabs on business receivables, Debtly gives you a crystal-clear picture of who owes you, who you owe, and exactly how each balance changes over time. WHY DEBTLY? Most finance apps are built for budgeting or debt payoff planning. Debtly is different — it's designed specifically for tracking personal debts, IOUs, and money owed between people. No complicated setup. No bank connections required. Just simple, powerful debt tracking that works. CORE FEATURES: INSTANT DEBT RECORDING Add a new debt or IOU in seconds. Record who borrowed money, how much, when it's due, and attach notes for context. Supports multiple currencies so you can track debts across borders. PERSON-BY-PERSON OVERVIEW See every balance broken down by person. Know at a glance: who owes you the most, who you need to pay back first, and what the total picture looks like. No more guessing or mental math. SMART DUE DATE REMINDERS Never miss a repayment deadline. Set custom reminders for upcoming due dates and get notified before payments are late. Stay ahead of every obligation — both what you owe and what's owed to you. BUILT-IN ANALYTICS & INSIGHTS Understand your debt patterns with visual analytics. See trends over time, identify which debts to prioritize for collection, and use smart payoff plans to decide what to settle first. MULTI-CURRENCY SUPPORT Track debts in different currencies without mixing them up. Perfect for international friendships, travel debts, or cross-border business dealings. ATTACH NOTES & HISTORY Add context to every entry with notes. Review the full payment history for each debt — see what was paid, when, and what remains. Export data when you need records. 100% PRIVATE & AD-FREE Your financial data is yours alone. Debtly works without ads, without tracking, and without a forced account. No third-party access.
