New to Beyond Payday? These guides walk you through creating your account, entering your first numbers, and importing existing data. You will also find how to install the app on your phone or computer, how syncing and offline use work, and what Free and Pro include, so you can pick up the basics at your own pace.
Change zoom and content width
In Settings, Display has Content width for big screens and, in the apps, Zoom to make everything bigger or smaller. Both are saved on that device only.
Does the app sync with the website and work offline?
The apps and website share one account, so a change shows everywhere when you open or refresh. They need internet; nothing is stored for offline use.
Free vs. Pro — what's the difference?
Free covers income, bills, assets, debts, and goals. Pro adds retirement projections, businesses, and Beth for $9/mo or $90/yr.

Switch between light and dark mode

Use the spreadsheet view for bulk data entry
Switch Bills, Debts, Assets, or a business page to Spreadsheet mode for fast, Excel-style bulk entry with keyboard nav, paste, and fill-down.
What happens when a record is changed somewhere else
Beyond Payday never lets one edit silently overwrite another — if a record changed since you opened it, your save is held so you can review and retry.
What is Beyond Payday?
