## What is Daily Budget App?

You're at the register. Can you afford this?

BentoMoney answers that in one number. Tell it what you earn, what your bills are, and what you want to save. It works out what's safe to spend today, and it updates the moment you log a purchase.

NO ONE SEES YOUR MONEY BUT YOU
There's no bank login, because there's no bank connection. No account to create. No server holding your spending history, because there is no server. Your money stays on your phone. That's not a setting you turn on. It's how the app is built.

TYPING IT IS THE POINT
Ten seconds after you buy something, you type it in. That sounds like a chore. It's the whole trick. Apps that sync your bank hand you a tidy report at the end of the month, and you nod at it like weather. Type in that $14 lunch and you feel the $14. That's what changes what you spend.

WHEN TODAY GOES SIDEWAYS
You'll blow through a day. Everyone does. Swipe to your week or your month and you'll see you've still got room, or you'll see you don't. Either way you know before it's too late to do anything about it.

WHO IT'S FOR
People who handed a budgeting app their bank password and felt a bit sick about it. People who want one number, not forty charts. People who've quit three budgeting apps because each one turned into a second job.

### 5/5 — Simple, private, perfect!

*2026-07-21*

Such a good app! Straightforward, helped me spend more consciously and didn’t have to sacrifice my privacy!

**Developer response:** Thank you, Jon! Really glad it’s landed the way I hoped — simple, private, and helping you spend a bit more consciously. I use BentoMoney myself every day, so hearing this means a lot. Always happy to hear any feedback — appreciate you taking the time!

### 5/5 — Budgeting is easy

*2026-06-15*

I am not money savvy but the way this app teaches me to budget even I can understand. :)

**Developer response:** I’m so glad BentoMoney is helping budgeting feel simple and easy to understand. That’s exactly what I built it to do. Thank you for the kind review!

### 5/5 — Great for saving money and staying under budget

*2026-03-04*

This app is very easy to use and I found it to be quite helpful in keeping me accountable and sticking to my budget. Also, I started saving more money while using it. Great value!

**Developer response:** Thank you, Lv—99! 'Started saving more money' - that's honestly the best unintended side effect I could've hoped for. 😄 BentoMoney is built around keeping you under your daily budget, but I guess when you do that consistently, the savings just follow. Really glad it's working for you!

This app is super awesome for daily budget trackers! I also love that it’s privacy first

**Developer response:** Thank you, SHK7! Really happy the privacy-first approach resonates - I honestly built it that way for myself first, and hoped others would feel the same. Glad it's useful! 😊

### 5/5 — Very well designed app

*2026-01-07*

Very well made app.

**Developer response:** Thank you! Really appreciate you taking the time to share this. I put a lot of care into the design and UX, so it's great to hear it shows. Hope BentoMoney keeps helping you stay on top of your spending!

### 5/5 — A good app to manage your money

*2026-01-07*

This is a really good app to help manage your money. You can do stuff like add your salary and purchases and get a good overview of your financial  state. What can I say it's also cheaper than the alternatives and is easier to use.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the thoughtful review! Really glad to hear the salary and purchase tracking is helping you get a clear picture of your finances. I wanted to make something straightforward and affordable - no complicated features you don't need, just the essentials done well. Thanks for giving BentoMoney a shot!

### 1.0.6 — 2026-03-14

Lots of fixes, a few fun additions this time around.
- The "Available Today" amount now flips like a split-flap Solari board - you know, the ones at train stations. 
- And the widget finally behaves across day and month transitions.

- One user flagged a currency display issue for their local format, so that's sorted. 
- Profile photos now survive app updates too - probably should've been that way from the start.
- Streaks are smarter... 
- The app was already pretty light on battery, but we squeezed out a bit more.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-01-05

No release notes.
