What longbook is and what it costs

longbook remembers the payments that come back: rent, insurance, loan instalments, school fees, subscriptions, card fees and domain renewals. It keeps the next one in view on your iPhone and your Mac: in a Home Screen widget and in the Mac menu bar.

It also keeps the expenses you have already made, so you can see a month's spending in Reports.

Where your records live

Everything is kept in a longbook folder in your own iCloud Drive, as a plain file you own. longbook doesn't connect to your bank. We never see inside your longbook.

What it runs on

• iPhone with iOS 17 or later
• Mac with macOS 14 or later and Apple silicon

One purchase covers both, and both read the same folder, so a change on one shows on the other.

What it costs

longbook is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. At launch:

• The first 100 buyers pay $38.
• The next 250 pay $98.
• Everyone after pays $149.

Prices in other countries are whatever the App Store shows there.

The purchase includes:

• the iPhone and Mac apps, and every update
• Family Sharing, so everyone in your Apple family gets longbook on their own account
• 12 months of longbook Cloud, free

Trying it first

There is no trial. Instead you get a 7-day refund: within 7 days of buying, tap Request a Refund on the Account screen and Apple refunds you. Before buying, you can look around a demo longbook filled with made-up data.

longbook Cloud

Cloud is an optional add-on for the features that use our server, at $4 a month after the free 12 months. See "What longbook Cloud adds".
