Quick-pay vs Log payment

Two ways to mark a bill paid. When to use which.

In short

Use Quick-pay for fixed bills you paid in full (rent, Spotify). Use Log payment for variable bills or any time the amount differs from expected (utilities, credit cards).

Quick-pay

On any bill row, the green check (or ⋯ menu → "Quick pay") marks the bill paid at its expected amount for the current month. Zero typing. Used for fixed-amount bills.

Log payment

The PaymentModal captures the actual amount, paid date, payment method (Bank transfer, Card, Cash, Venmo, Other), and a notes field.

Click a bill row → the detail drawer opens.
Click Log payment.
Type the amount you actually paid. Pick a date if it wasn't today.
Pick a method chip. Add notes if anything is non-obvious.
Click Log payment.

The paid-date determines which monthly statement the payment lands on. Logging a May 1 payment on April 30 puts it in the April statement — that's on purpose. Edit from the drawer if you need to fix it.

Editing or deleting a payment

Open the bill detail drawer → scroll to Payment history. Each row has an edit and delete button. Edits are atomic; deletes are soft-delete (you can restore them within 30 days from Settings → Data & export).

If that didn't answer it

I paid a bill but it still shows overdue. What gives?

Check the period (year + month) the payment landed in. If you logged it on May 1 for a bill due in April, the May payment is recorded under April's row but May is still empty. Edit the payment's month from the drawer to fix.

Can I undo a quick-pay?

Yes. Open the bill detail drawer, find the payment in History, click delete. Quick-pays are payments like any other.
