## What is Digital Budget?

Digital Budget is your own personal hassle-free go-to budgeting app. Budget without any external accounts and have all your data sync across iCloud-enabled devices.

PLAN YOUR MONTHLY BUDGET

Track all of your income, expenses, and envelopes to plan your monthly budget. Mark items as paid, or see them warn you when the due date is upcoming or past. Quickly see a variety of totals and know how well you’re sticking to your budget.

TRACK DAILY ENVELOPE SPENDING*

Your envelopes are a representation of money set aside for a specific purpose in the month (i.e. groceries). However, we don’t always spend exactly that much per month. So, you can add spending expenses quickly to track how much of the envelope has been spent, or how much needs to be reassessed and/or moved to compensate for over spending.

PLAN WITH THE SCENARIO BUILDER*

Life is full of what ifs. What if I bought a new car? What if I moved? What if I changed jobs? Now, you can create Scenarios that don’t touch or affect your official monthly budget. Plan for the what ifs and know if you can afford to make changes to your budget.

VIEW GRAPHICAL TRENDS*

Numbers on the screen are just text. View the graphical trends of your spending habits monthly or in a custom range. Are you spending more per month than you expected? Have you spent more than you budgeted in your envelopes? See where there are anomalies in order to try and fix it before the next month’s budget starts.

WIDGET SUPPORT*

Various Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets allow for quick updates to your budget without opening the app. Quickly see budget metrics for the current month, see expenses that are due in the next week, and see envelope progress for the current month. (The envelope widget is customizable to which envelope you want to see for the current month.)

WATCHOS COMPANION APP*

View your current month's budget straight on your Apple Watch in the companion app. See the status of all budget items along with the status of your envelopes (amount and all expenses). Includes various watch face complications for quick glances throughout the day.

SIRI SHORTCUTS INTEGRATION

NEW! Two preconfigured shortcuts are available to be run from anywhere (Spotlight Search, Shortcuts, asking Siri, etc.). The first is Due Soon, which shows you which budget items are coming due in the next week without opening the app or the widget. The second is Record Expense* (this is exclusive to subscribers to record an envelope expense). These shortcuts can also be utilized in the Shortcuts app to automate your budget and make it work for you.

*Always ad-free and free use to create a simple monthly budget (using a limited number of envelopes and budget items). Additional app features require Budget Pass.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.4 — 2024-04-20

Thank you for using Digital Budget! In this minor update, the following has been fixed:

- Some users who purchased the single, lifetime purchase could not use the Home or Lock Screen Widgets.

Sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused! Also apologies for the lack of updates lately, but a major 2.0 revamp is planned for the near future for Digital Budget. Stay tuned!

### 1.3.3 — 2024-01-04

Thank you for using Digital Budget! This update is a continuation of the addition of the one-time lifetime unlock purchase.

Fixed an issue when purchasing the app - it should now automatically detect that you have purchased the app and unlock all features immediately without needing you to force close and reopen the app.

Be sure to use the "Email the Developer" button in Settings if you encounter any issues!

### 1.3.2 — 2024-01-03

Happy New Year! The holidays have been busy, but more is planned for Digital Budget. A small update this time:

-Updated the paywall view to include a better visual for what you get when you purchase the Digital Budget Pass.
-Added a new single payment option - pay once, and unlock the app forever.

### 1.3.1 — 2023-10-25

Thanks for sticking with Digital Budget! This small update contains a few bug fixes.

BUG FIXES
-Fixed the watchOS companion app's navigation. Users with multiple envelopes in a month would cycle through each of the envelopes when trying to go back to the main page.
-Fixed the watchOS companion app to show a message when there were no envelope expenses logged, yet.
-Fixed the rectangular Due Soon widget to have a little more spacing so it is easier to read.

### 1.3 — 2023-10-24

Thank you for using Digital Budget! This update includes some new things, bug fixes, and improvements!

NEW
-Added true Siri Shortcut support. Two Shortcuts have been added that can be used in custom shortcuts/automations in the Shortcuts app. They can also be run from Spotlight Search or asking Siri. Due Soon is available to everyone, and Record Expense is exclusive to subscribers.

BUG FIXES
-On iPadOS and macOS, fixed erroneously labeled totals views that showed chevrons indicating they were selectable, when in fact they weren't.
-The circular watchOS complication for monthly envelopes, which was added in the last update, would never show up when selecting a complication for your watch face. (If they still don't show, please open the watchOS companion app to force it to refresh, and try adding the complication again).

IMPROVEMENTS
-Added a new toggle in Settings that allows you to decide which Net total to display by default (projected or current) on the Budget tab.
-Edited the watchOS main view by removing the total at the bottom, it was taking up too much room, even on the largest Apple Watch.

Remember to utilize the Email the Developer button in Settings if you find any bugs or have feature requests!
