BalanceWright Wants to Make the Checkbook Register Boring Again
A planned iPhone checkbook register for people who enter transactions by hand, reconcile against statements, and want to avoid bank logins, ads, and subscriptions.
Field notes
The proposed workflow stays deliberately manual: users enter transactions, mark them against a bank statement, and settle the difference at zero. Recurring items can post automatically, searches cover the full retained history, and exports are offered as CSV or printable PDF. The page says records back up to the user’s own iCloud rather than a vendor-controlled server, and its sample ledger includes checks, a pension deposit, insurance, groceries, and a plumber payment.
