Quick facts

The job is payday cadence — weekly, bi-weekly, monthly — not a generic safe-to-spend slogan and not the no-bank explainer already on another guide.

Cadence

Pay period

Enter take-home amount and frequency. Math aligns to that schedule.

Frequencies

Weekly / bi-weekly / monthly

Bills slide into the correct period instead of a generic calendar month.

Bank login

Never

The Bill does not connect to banks.

Also

Safe-to-spend

Bills in the pay period, savings goals, unused budget carry-over, widgets and notifications.

Storage

On-device

Local storage. Optional iCloud. Optional premium planning tools.

Payday cadence

Align every bill to the paycheck you actually get.

Step 1

Enter take-home and frequency

Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, and similar. The forecast hangs on that cadence, not a first-of-the-month template.

Step 2

List bills

Amount and due date so items land in the pay period that has the money.

Step 3

Read safe-to-spend for this period

Income, bills, and goals become one figure between paydays.

Step 4

Keep banks out of it

Numbers stay on the device unless you enable optional iCloud backup. Premium planning tools are optional.

Payday cadence is the product question

A no-bank budget app is already documented. A generic safe-to-spend page is already documented. This page is the biweekly paycheck job: you are paid every two weeks, and the bills have to sit in that period.

The Bill lets you type paycheck amount and frequency, then forecasts paydays and slides bills into the correct window.

Optional tools are not “everything is free”

Core planning is available up front. Optional premium tools exist for deeper control. Optional IAP is not “no paywalls.” Pricing shows in the App Store purchase flow.
