How Bill watch works

Bill watch looks at the receipts you have already added and notices a pattern: the same vendor, a steady amount, a regular gap, from every month to every year.

Once it has enough history (three receipts for monthly bills, two for quarterly or yearly) it starts watching. Each bill gets a row with one dot per month for the past year:

• Green dot. You have a receipt for that month.
• Red ring. A bill should have come and there is no receipt. Click it to add that month's receipt, dated for you.
• Dashed ring. The next bill is due.

A bill with a red ring also shows under Missing and the rail shows a badge. Click a row for its receipts, to change how often it comes, or to Stop watching it. Stopped bills sit under Filters until you watch them again.

Bill watch never creates an expense on its own and never emails you. In the iPhone app it can remind you when a bill goes missing, if you allow notifications.
