Billiary User Guide

Quick concepts

• Month-based tracking: Billiary is organized around the selected month, so you can review what is due, paid, overdue, and still remaining.
• Local-first: Billiary works without an account. Your bill data is stored on your device unless you export or restore a backup yourself.
• Paid vs unpaid: Marking a bill as paid updates totals, statistics, and remaining amounts.
• Recurring bills: Repeating bills can be generated for future months so your upcoming payments stay visible.
• Optional income tracking: Income entries can be used to compare available money against paid and upcoming bills.

Bills

Add a bill

Use the add button in the Bills screen to create a bill. Depending on your app version and platform, the available fields can include:

• Name
• Amount
• Due date or due day
• Category
• Account/card or payment source
• Recurrence
• Notes

Edit, delete, and duplicate

• Tap a bill to open or edit it.
• Use the paid checkbox or paid action to mark it as paid.
• Delete a bill from the edit screen or list action where available.
• Tip: long-press a bill to duplicate it when you need to create a similar entry quickly.

Overdue bills

Bills that have passed their due date and are still unpaid are treated as overdue, making it easier to spot payments that need attention.

Paid dates

A bill's due date and paid date are not always the same. Billiary lets you record when a bill was actually paid, which makes history and statistics more accurate.

• Use the paid date when you paid a bill earlier or later than the due date.
• Paid dates help with sorting, review, and historical tracking.
• If you do not set a separate paid date, Billiary can still track the bill as paid for the selected month.

Recurring bills

Recurring bills are useful for rent, utilities, subscriptions, insurance, loans, and other payments that repeat.

• One-time: appears only once.
• Monthly: repeats every month.
• Quarterly: repeats every three months.
• Yearly: repeats once per year.

When you edit or delete future occurrences of a recurring bill, Billiary preserves historical months and avoids recreating duplicate future entries.

Reminders

Billiary uses local reminders to help you avoid missed payments.

• Reminder settings can be configured per bill where supported.
• Premium users can use more flexible reminder options, such as multiple reminders before a due date.
• Because reminders are local, they do not require an account or cloud service.

Categories

Categories help organize bills and make statistics easier to understand.

• Use categories such as utilities, housing, insurance, subscriptions, transport, or custom groups.
• Uncategorized bills remain visible and can be organized later.
• Category filters and statistics help you understand where your money goes each month.

Income

Income tracking is optional. When enabled, it helps compare money coming in with bills going out.

• Add one or more income entries for the month.
• Use income categories such as salary, bonus, tip, or other income.
• Review available amounts after paid bills are counted.
• Use reset/import options carefully when rebuilding a month from income and bill data.

Accounts, cards, and payment sources

Billiary supports tracking where money comes from or where bills are paid from, depending on your current platform and app version.

• Assign bills and income to a card/account/source where available.
• Use account/card summaries to understand balances and source-level spending.
• If you move income or bills between sources, review the month summary afterward to confirm totals look correct.

Statistics

The Statistics section helps you review past and current spending.

• Monthly paid totals
• Paid, unpaid, upcoming, and overdue bill views
• Category breakdowns
• Income summaries when income tracking is enabled
• Charts and deeper historical views for Premium users where available

Backup, export, and restore

Billiary is local-first, so backups are important if you change devices, reinstall the app, or want to keep a safe copy of your data.

• Create backups from Settings when available.
• Store backup files somewhere safe, such as cloud storage or your computer.
• Use restore/import to move data back into Billiary.
• When restoring, make sure you are using the correct file and review the result after import.
