## What is Budget Warden?

Budget Warden let's you create budgets for anything - your family, a vacation or a project.

Split your expenses in meaningful categories, plan amounts for each of them. Then track actual transactions and see reporting on how you're doing. Straightforward and organized.

Budgets are files and can be stored locally or in iCloud. If you use iCloud, you can open your budget using our Mac or iPad apps.

Budget Warden is a native iOS app and performance is a top priority - not an afterthought.

- Complete rewrite to a local-first native iOS app
