What it does
Pocket Expense tracks personal accounts, category budgets and bill schedules on iPhone and iPad. It keeps earlier budget cycles available for comparison and supports multiple recorded payments toward a bill. The app has paid Premium options, and its service terms require an account.
A bill may be paid in more than one amount. Pocket Expense tracks those payments against the bill and uses status indicators to distinguish upcoming and overdue obligations. Its calendar view and adjustable reminders make the due dates visible alongside the amounts still recorded as owed.
Budget funds can be moved between budgets in one operation. When a cycle ends, its records remain archived for later comparison rather than disappearing into the new period.
