## What is Expense Tracker?

Light Budget is the calm expense tracker for iPhone, iPad and Mac.

• Add an expense in two taps — no forms, no accounts, no bank login
• See exactly where the month went on one donut chart
• On-device AI flags the category quietly growing this month
• Free forever on one device. Pay only if you want iCloud sync

No bank linking. No spreadsheets. No accounts. Your numbers live in your own private Apple cloud — we never see them.

WHY PEOPLE SWITCH TO LIGHT BUDGET

• Add an expense in two taps — no forms, no friction
• Pick a budget in 10 seconds with categories you actually use
• See spending by week, month or year on a single donut chart
• On-device AI Insights show which category is growing fastest
• Built-in forecast warns you before the month overruns
• Free forever on a single device — pay only if you want sync

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
We do not run a server. Your data lives in your own private CloudKit container — Apple's encrypted cloud storage that only you can read. No analytics SDK. No advertising. No third-party tracking.

ELEVEN HOME-SCREEN WIDGETS
A circular Burn-rate gauge that compares today's spending to your daily allowance, a forecast widget for the projected month-end total, a six-month trend mini-chart, top-category and donut summaries, and a Quick Add tile to log an expense straight from the Home Screen.

SIRI, SHORTCUTS, SPOTLIGHT
Tell Siri "Add expense to Light Budget", confirm the amount and category, and the transaction syncs to your other devices without ever opening the app.

DESIGNED FOR APPLE PLATFORMS
• iPhone with iOS 18.6 or later
