## What is Lucent Budget?

Lucent is a clean, intuitive budgeting app designed for individuals and couples who want to take control of their finances without the complexity.

BUDGET YOUR WAY

Create multiple budgets for different purposes—monthly expenses, vacation funds, or household spending. Each budget supports its own currency, perfect for travelers or international households.

ORGANIZE WITH CATEGORIES

Set up spending categories with target amounts and watch your progress in real time. Lucent shows you exactly where you stand—what you've spent, what's remaining, and when you're over budget.

TRACK EVERY TRANSACTION

Log expenses quickly with a streamlined interface. Add notes, assign categories, and use transaction templates for recurring purchases. Filter and search your history to find exactly what you need.

REACH YOUR SAVINGS GOALS

Whether you're saving for something specific or just building a nest egg, Lucent has you covered. Set target-based goals with deadlines or use open-ended savings trackers. Log contributions and withdrawals to see your progress grow.

SHARE WITH YOUR HOUSEHOLD

Invite your partner or family to share budgets. Everyone stays on the same page with real-time sync, and you control exactly what's shared.

INSIGHTS THAT MATTER

Visualize your spending with clear charts and insights. See budget vs. actual comparisons, category breakdowns, and spending trends over time.

YOUR DATA, YOUR CONTROL
• Export transactions to CSV anytime
• Data syncs securely across all your devices
• No ads, no data selling—ever


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.0 — 2026-08-29

• Goals can now be linked to a savings category: record savings once and the goal updates itself, with the transactions behind it listed on the goal.
• Transactions have an optional note, so the description can stay short and simple.
• The dashboard now shows how much you've saved this period and how much of your income is left after spending and saving.

Thank you for your feedback and for using Lucent!

### 2.9.7 — 2026-08-24

The category screen is easier to read. What you can spend each day is now labelled "Per day" and you can tap it for a weekly view. Over-budget categories show your target instead of a reset date, and the spending line no longer repeats what the progress bar is already showing.

Thanks for the feedback!

### 2.9.6 — 2026-08-21

Your budget now shows what you can spend today, can you can tap to switch between today and weekly. Also new are progress bars that mark where you should be by now and over-budget categories show when they reset rather than showing zero left for the week.

Thank you for using Lucent!

### 2.9.5 — 2026-08-18

• Your budget now tells you what you can spend per week, not just what's left and warns you when your current rate is heading over.
• Savings goal now show what to put aside each week to hit them.
• A cleaner category screen and fixed Stats charts that compared a year of spending against one month of budget.

Thank you for using Lucent!

### 2.9.1 — 2026-08-11

New for shavings goals:
- You can now edit goal contributions and withdrawals: change the amount, note, or date on any entry. You can also set a custom date when logging one.
- Fixes to goal progress display: goals right on target now say "Goal reached" and a few minor tweaks to the display.

Thank you for using Lucent!
