## What is BudgetBaby?

Know exactly what you can spend today. BudgetBaby uses zero-based budgeting and a daily Safe to Spend number, no pies, no spreadsheets, no guessing.

Most budget apps tell you what you spent last month. BudgetBaby tells you what's safe to spend right now.

THE SAFE TO SPEND METHOD
Every dollar gets a job. Bills, subscriptions, savings, and pool allocations are subtracted up front. What's left is your real spending money, divided by days remaining in the period to give you a single number you can trust.

WHAT YOU GET (FREE)
- Daily Safe to Spend with day-of math
- Unlimited transactions and unlimited custom categories (up to 5 saved)
- 3 savings goals, 3 recurring bills, 3 active subscriptions
- Cash + Debit + Savings pool tracking
- Monthly archive and 1 CSV export per month
- Local backups encrypted with AES-256-GCM

PREMIUM ($7.99/MO OR $69.99/YR: SAVE 27%)
- Unlimited savings goals, bills, subscriptions, custom categories
- Advanced insights: spend trends, category breakdowns, projection charts

 Calendar sync: bills and subscriptions appear in your iOS calendar
- Unlimited CSV + PDF exports
- 5 encrypted cloud backup slots with restore-anywhere
- Custom reminder schedules + quiet hours
- Activity log + biometric-protected data wipe
- Migration files: move your data between devices in one .bbbackup file

WHO IT'S FOR
- People who tried envelope budgeting on paper and want it digital
- Couples and roommates splitting shared expenses
- Anyone tired of looking at last month's damage and wanting forward control
- Folks who paycheck-to-paycheck budget and need to know "can I order takeout tonight?"

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
Most apps categorize what you already spent. BudgetBaby plans the period before it starts and gives you a single, honest number every day. Hard-block guardrails prevent over-allocations before they break your budget. Auto-correction recovers gracefully if anything ever goes negative.

PRIVACY + SECURITY
Your data lives on your device by default. Cloud backup is opt-in, encrypted client-side, and stored under your Firebase user ID with strict access rules. We don't sell data, ever. Analytics opt-out is one toggle.

7-DAY FREE TRIAL on the annual plan. Cancel anytime in iOS Settings.

Free to download. iOS 17+. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends.
