What TimelyBills does

TimelyBills started as a bill reminder and grew into a full money app. It alerts you before bills are due, tracks daily spending, sets weekly or monthly budgets and savings goals, and lets a family share one view. It's free to start on iPhone and Android, with low-cost paid plans and optional bank sync in the US and Canada.

Reminders before bills are due
Daily spending tracking and weekly or monthly budgets
Savings goals and spending reports
Family group to share bills and budgets
Multiple currencies
Optional paid bank sync in the US and Canada

If bills are your main worry but you also want a basic budget, TimelyBills covers both without much fuss. You add your bills with due dates and get reminders ahead of time. Alongside that you log spending, set a weekly or monthly budget, and track progress toward savings goals. Reports show where your money is going.

A family group lets you share bills and a budget with people at home. It handles more than one currency, and paid plans add things like home screen widgets, Face ID login, a custom dashboard and monthly reports. In the US and Canada, you can pay extra to link bank and card accounts so transactions come in on their own.

The pricing list is long and a bit confusing, with Basic, Pro, Pro Plus, Family and bank tiers. Start free and only upgrade if you need a specific feature. On the App Store the app is listed as "Bill Organizer Budget Planner," so don't be thrown if the name looks different from the website.
