## What is Bud?

Bud makes budgeting actually work.

Most money apps feel like spreadsheets in disguise. Bud doesn't. Log what you spend in two taps, see it broken down by the categories that matter, and know at a glance whether you're on track for the month.

WHY BUD

Built for real habits
Categories grounded in how people actually live - food, transport, bills, entertainment - not a generic bucket that tells you nothing.

Log it in seconds
A clean number pad, a category grid, one tap to save. No forms, no friction.

Budgets that mean something
Set a monthly limit per category. Bud shows you exactly where you stand and flags it clearly the moment you go over - before it becomes a problem, not after.

Insights that make sense
Watch your trends over time, category by category, with month-over-month comparisons that actually help you decide what to change.

Solo or shared
Keep it private, or share with a partner, roommate, or family member. Bud adapts to however you manage money — no couples-only lock-in, no forced sharing.

Multi-currency
All currencies supported (USD,€,£,SGD,AUD,MYR,and others). Set it once and forget it.

WHO IT'S FOR

Anyone who wants a clear picture of their money without the homework. Whether you're keeping a solo budget, splitting household bills, or just trying to figure out where the month went - Bud fits.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

No ads. No selling your data. No noise. Your money stays yours, and the app stays out of your way.
