## What is Budget Tracker?

What's safe to spend right now?

Not your bank balance. What's left after bills, subscriptions, and savings — before the next payday. No bank connection required. Ever.

Brim shows you one honest number. Your data stays on your device.

SET UP ONCE. KNOW EVERY DAY.
Add your bills, subscriptions, and recurring expenses once. Brim deducts them automatically — that number on your home screen is what's actually yours to spend.
No mental math. No guessing before you spend.

BUILT FOR REAL LIFE
Salary on the 29th. Freelance month. Two paychecks at different times. Brim plans on what you actually expect to earn — and adjusts as reality unfolds.

UNDERSTAND YOUR MONEY — AT A GLANCE
Six charts, each with one job.
• Spending Breakdown — watch your paycheck flow from income to every category
• Spending Trend — is this month better or worse than your usual?
• Top Spending — which categories are absorbing the most?
• Saving Rate — are you on track? Benchmarks included, not a vague thumbs-up
Tap any chart. Apple Intelligence tells you what it means, in one sentence, on your device.

ONE TAP TO ADD AN EXPENSE
Tap once inside the app. Pick a category. Done.
Or set up an Apple Pay automation in iOS Shortcuts and let your purchases log themselves. Whichever feels less like work.
Brim also suggests the right emoji when you create a new category — small touch, but it makes the app feel like yours.

WORKS WHILE YOU'RE NOT LOOKING
• 5 Home Screen widgets, plus Lock Screen widgets
• Long-press the icon for instant add
• Apple Pay automation via Shortcuts
• Recurring bills auto-deducted every month

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your financial data lives on your device. iCloud sync goes through your personal account — we never see it. The AI features run on-device too — your transactions never leave your iPhone.

BUILT TO BE FAST
Opens instantly. No loading screen — just your number, right there.
Logging an expense on the go takes three seconds. That's the whole point.

DATA YOU OWN
• CSV import from other budget apps
• CSV export anytime
• 180+ currencies supported

BUILT WITH YOU
Made by one indie developer who uses Brim every day. Vote on the roadmap, email feedback, help shape what comes next.

### 1/5 — Login somente com Google ou Apple.

*2026-08-28*

Prefiro sempre ter um login de e-mail em tudo que uso.

### 5/5 — Excellent mais manque d’ergonomie

*2026-08-13*

Je ne sais pas si c’est moi mais je ne trouve pas où supprimer des enveloppes

### 5/5 — Futur Apple Design Award

*2026-08-03*

Brim a clairement le meilleur design parmi toutes les apps de budget. Épurée, élégante et ultra fluide. Si une app de ce genre doit un jour gagner un Apple Design Award, ce sera celle-ci.

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup ! J’espère que Apple lit les commentaires 😁

### 5/5 — Best budgeting app so far

*2026-04-20*

This is the first time I really wanna use this app. I have downloaded and tried to use tens of budgeting apps, all of them were over complicated and i ended up deleting them. This one I am pretty sure will stick with me for a long time.

**Developer response:** This genuinely made my day!

I built Brim because I felt the exact same way about every budgeting app I tried: too much setup, too many features, too easy to abandon! Hope you stick around.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-04-14*

For keeping track of the real number which you can spend for the month since this app is simple and subtle where it only takes into account the budget you created and automatically switches to the amount based on the income you add to the budget. It doesn’t have all the bell and whistles of connecting directly to your bank account but honestly there are expenses on my bank account which I made for my friends and they will reimburse me that amount but I don’t want my budget app to show me these kind of redundant transactions which this app solves. PS: since I was a beta tester my review might be biased so the only way to know if I am saying the truth is to download and try it yourself. Thanks to the Dev

**Developer response:** This is exactly why I built Brim. Thank you for getting it! 

The manual entry thing is an intentional choice - glad it resonates with you

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-04-04*

I’m amazed with how effortlessly the app does everything I’ve wanted in a financial app, which is doing a lot with a handful of great features. The developer really thought of everything and it can only get better from here. The Apple Pay integration alone is genius and perfect for someone like me who never liked connecting banks with Plaid. Give it a try!

**Developer response:** Thank you, this means a lot!!
The Apple Pay integration is one of my favorites too. Glad it clicks for you 🙏

### 5/5 — Best Money management app

*2026-04-03*

This is best money management app i have ever used.

**Developer response:** Oh, wow! Thank you so much

### 3/5 — Falta PTBR

*2026-03-14*

Aplicativo muito bom mas precisa trazer o idioma ptbr, contando ainda que não dá para utilizar o app sem pagar e não ter tradução fica ruim.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! Brazilian Portuguese will be added soon. Working on it 🙏

### 1/5 — 👎🏻

*2026-03-10*

👎🏻

### 2/5 — Requires subscription

*2026-02-27*

Cannot do anything without subscribing. And when you hit the paywall, you don‘t even see all the options unless you discover a hidden swipe gesture.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback!
Just to clarify - there’s a 7-day free trial before you commit to anything. After that, you can choose to subscribe or buy a lifetime license if you don’t like the subscription model.
