## What is Budge?

Know exactly where you stand before you reach the checkout.

Budge is a shopping list with a budget built in. Make a list, set what you want to spend, and check items off as you shop. Enter each price as you go, and Budge shows how much you have left in real time, so you never get a surprise at the register.

STAY ON BUDGET AS YOU SHOP
• Give every list its own budget, whether it's groceries, a hardware run or holiday gifts
• Your remaining budget updates the moment you check off an item
• A progress bar on each list shows how much you've spent
• See a projected total for the items still on your list. It turns orange if they'll cost more than you have left
• When you finish, match the trip total to your receipt before it comes off your budget

FAST CHECK-OFF IN THE AISLE
• Check off an item, enter the price, and see your new budget before it goes in the cart
• Type prices without a decimal point. Type 275 and you get 2.75
• Tap More Details whenever you need coupons, tax or weight
• Swipe to skip an item until your next trip. Skipped items aren't counted in the projected total
• Tap a section's name to collapse it, like in Reminders

REAL PRICES, NOT GUESSES
• Apply coupons once or per unit
• Set a sales tax rate for everything, for one list or for a single item
• Buy by weight: enter the weight and the price per pound or kilogram
• Add container deposits for cans and bottles. They count toward your total but aren't taxed
• Using WIC or EBT? Mark items paid with benefits, and they don't count against your budget
• Pick your currency, or let Budge use your region's

BUILT FOR THE WEEKLY TRIP
• Mark the items you buy every time as recurring. When you finish shopping, they go back on the list with their prices
• Look back at past trips in Trip History, with every item, price and total
• Sort items into sections that match your store's layout. Grocery lists come with starter sections
• Turn on automatic sorting, and Apple Intelligence puts new items in the right section

IMPORT FROM REMINDERS
• Bring in items from any Apple Reminders list, adding to your list or replacing what's there
• Apple Intelligence sorts the imported items into sections, right on your iPhone

SIRI, SHORTCUTS AND WIDGETS
• "Add an item to Grocery in Budge": add items hands-free with Siri
• "What is the remaining budget of my Grocery list in Budge": ask how much you have left
• Use Budge actions in the Shortcuts app
• Add a Home Screen widget to see a list's remaining budget at a glance

YOUR LISTS, EVERYWHERE
• Lists sync through your private iCloud database, so they're the same on every iPhone you use
• No account to create and nothing to sign in to

MAKE IT YOURS
• Give each list its own icon and color, and see your lists as rows or cards
• Choose light, dark or system appearance
• Pick an app icon color: red, black, blue, orange, purple or teal

FOR EVERYONE
• Works with VoiceOver and supports larger text sizes
• Available in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese (Brazil) and Japanese

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Budge has no ads, no analytics and no accounts. It doesn't collect, sell or share your data, and the developer can't see your lists. Your data stays on your iPhone and in your own iCloud.

Budge has grown a lot since 1.0. Here's everything that's new.

NEW
• Trip History: tap the clock button on the Lists screen to see past trips, with every item, its quantity and price, and the total. Choose how long to keep trips in Settings.
• Automatic sorting: turn on Sort New Items Automatically for a list, and Apple Intelligence puts new items in the right section. Sort Uncategorized Items in the ⋯ menu sorts the ones already there.
• WIC and EBT: turn it on in Settings, then mark items paid with benefits when you check them off. They go in your cart at no cost to your budget.
• Container deposits: set your state's deposit in Settings and how many cans or bottles an item has. Deposits are added to your total but not taxed.
• Skip items: swipe left on an item and tap Skip to hide it until you finish shopping. Skipped items aren't counted in the projected total.
• Collapsible sections: tap a section's name to collapse it, like in Reminders.
• Add to Cart on the Add Items and Edit Item screens puts an item straight in your cart.
• Match your receipt: when you finish shopping, change the trip total to match your receipt before it comes off your budget.
• A quick tour shows how Budge works. See it again anytime in Settings under How Budge Works.
• Rate Budge in the App Store from Settings.

IMPROVEMENTS
• Type prices and coupons without a decimal point. Typing 275 gives 2.75.
• Items sold by weight show short units, like 2.1 lb × $3.49/lb.
• When you give a list its own tax rate, Budge offers to save it in Settings too.
• Names of lists, items and sections start each word with a capital letter.
• If Apple Intelligence can't sort your items, Budge tells you why.
• Add to Cart works on the first tap, even while the keyboard is showing.
