A calmer view of what’s ahead

Make money admin feel lighter.

Zilch helps you plan what’s ahead and take care of everyday payments with less back-and-forth, on your terms.

Prototype in development · Live payments are not currently available

One place to get oriented

See the next thing, without losing the whole picture.

The Zilch prototype brings upcoming items, open questions, and proposed actions into one calm view. You can see what needs attention, inspect the details, and decide what happens next.

01

See what’s coming

Review synthetic upcoming items by date and status.

02

Understand what needs attention

Separate reminders from decisions that need your review.

03

Check the proposed action

See the amount cap, timing, and scope before approval.

04

Stay in control

Nothing progresses through approval without an explicit action from you.

Concept preview only · No financial data is connected

Plan ahead

A short list for the days ahead.

Use due dates and review states to decide what deserves attention now and what can wait.

Review before action

From request to status, one step at a time.

This local walkthrough shows how a future request could become a bounded proposal. You review the exact scope before the demonstration can advance.

Conceptual state sequence

Current synthetic state: Request received

The synthetic request is ready to be structured.

  1. Request receivedThe synthetic request is ready to be structured.
  2. Details checkedThe demonstration has enough synthetic information to prepare a proposal.
  3. Awaiting your approvalReview the exact scope. Nothing has been submitted.
  4. Approved in this demoYour click changed local demonstration state only.
  5. SubmittedConceptual state: a future adapter would have attempted submission.
  6. AcceptedConceptual state: a future rail reported acceptance. This would not mean settlement or biller credit.
  7. SettledConceptual state: a future rail reported settlement. This would not by itself confirm biller credit.
  8. CreditedConceptual state: a future reconciliation source confirmed posting to the bill.

Clear edges

Know the scope before you decide.

The proposed model is designed to make limits visible: what the action covers, the most it may include, when permission ends, and which status can actually be confirmed.

Exact scope

Name one item and one proposed action. A change in scope requires another review.

Visible limits

Show the amount cap, deadline, recurrence, and any unresolved detail together.

One-time approval

Approval applies to the reviewed proposal only; it is not open-ended permission.

Cancellation boundary

A proposed action can be cancelled before conceptual submission. Later options depend on a future rail and remain TBD.

Honest status

Keep submitted, accepted, settled, and credited separate.

Separated information

A future model may receive bounded intent fields and explanations. Secrets and unrestricted account access should remain outside model context.

Design intent only · Architecture, controls, providers, and review requirements remain proposed or TBD

    Ask

    Describe the item, deadline, and maximum you want considered.

  2. 02

    Verify

    Check the available details and surface anything unresolved.

  3. 03

    Authorize

    Review one exact proposal and choose whether to approve it.

  4. 04

    Reconcile

    Report what each source can confirm without overstating the result.

Preview interest

Help shape a lighter way to handle money admin.

Share what feels repetitive or unclear today. This local prototype form records no submission and does not create an account, reserve access, or place you in a launch queue.

Share non-sensitive feedback

The form validates in this page only. Submission handling and privacy workflows remain TBD.

Use an address where you would be comfortable receiving a future reply. This prototype does not send or store it.
Do not include bills, account or card details, credentials, transaction data, or other sensitive information.
