Why we’re building it

Register apps keep breaking people’s trust.

Read the recent one-star reviews of the popular checkbook apps and the same stories repeat. A routine update erased three years of entries. A balance that quietly adds twenty thousand dollars every couple of weeks. Ads still showing up at the bottom of the screen months after the person paid to be rid of them. Emails to support that simply bounce.

These aren’t small annoyances. When your register is wrong, your bank charges you $35 and calls it an overdraft. A check register holds your financial life. It should be plain, honest, and permanent: a tool that behaves the same way this year as it did last year.

“It erased all my banking information from the past three years.”
From a 1-star App Store review of a leading checkbook app, July 2026. It is one of dozens like it.
What you get

The register you keep, doing what a register should.

No budgets to set up. No charts you didn’t ask for. No AI. Just the register, done properly.

Reconcile to the penny

Tick off each entry against your bank statement and watch the difference land on $0.00. Once a month is reconciled, it’s settled, and no update gets to rewrite it.

Recurring entries

Pension, rent, insurance, tithe: set them down once and they post themselves. Your balance always shows what’s really left.

Search that finds it

“When did I last pay the plumber?” Type a few letters and there it is, across every year you’ve kept.

Type you can actually read

Big figures, black on white, at a size you can read at arm’s length. Designed for your eyes, not to look clever on someone’s design blog.

Your records, in your hands

One tap sends any register out as a CSV file or a printable PDF. It’s your money’s history. You should never have to ask us for it.

Backed up to your iCloud

Automatic backup to your own iCloud account, not to a server we own. Lose the phone, keep the records.

Straight answers

The questions that matter.

Does it connect to my bank?

No, and that’s on purpose. No bank login means no password of yours to lose and no sync to break when your bank changes something. You enter what you spend, the way you always have. The fifteen seconds a day that keep you honest with your money.

What if I lose my phone?

Your register backs up to your own iCloud, not to a server we own. A new phone signs in and your entries come back. You can also export to CSV or PDF whenever you like, so you always hold a copy that doesn’t depend on us.

Is it really one price, with no ads?

Yes. You pay $9.99 one time. Every feature included, updates free. No subscription, no premium tier, and no ad code in the app at all. If we ever offer an optional paid extra, what you bought stays yours.

When can I get it?

It’s finished and going through store review, so it isn’t on sale yet. That’s the honest answer. It arrives on the App Store first, and Android follows. There’s nothing to sign up for and no address to leave: search the store for BalanceWright when it opens.
