## What is Today's Budget?

Take control of your money — one day at a time.

Today’s Budget gives you a simpler, calmer way to manage your spending.

Instead of complicated budgets, endless categories, and cluttered dashboards, it helps you focus on one clear number: how much you can safely spend today.

Built around intentional manual tracking, Today’s Budget keeps you aware of your spending as it happens. Log what you spend, see the impact immediately, and build better money habits day by day.

It’s a more thoughtful way to budget: focused, flexible, and designed for real life.

[ Why Today’s Budget feels different ]

One number — right when you need it:
Add your income, bills, and savings goals, and the app calculates your available spending for today.

Manual tracking that builds awareness:
Logging expenses yourself helps you stay mindful and in control, without the friction of a complicated system.

Flexible by nature:
Spend less today, and you’ll have more tomorrow. Spend more, and the app adjusts. Clear, honest, and guilt-free.

Save steadily over time:
Create savings jars for future plans, bigger purchases, or your emergency fund.

Focused design:
No feature overload. No distracting dashboards. Just what matters most.

Private by design:
No ads. No tracking. No bank linking. Your data stays on your device and in iCloud.

Made to fit everyday life:
With widgets, Apple Watch support, shared wallets, CSV export, and multiple wallets, Today’s Budget works the way you do.

### 1/5 — It gets stuck

*2026-07-22, version 3.1.3*

I’m stuck on the page where it tells me how much I get every day. Not sure how to progress.

### 1/5 — Great, but what happened to me sucks

*2026-07-12, version 3.1.2*

After using their previous app called “daily budget” for a couple months I decided to spend the money to get analytics and categories and what not and literally right after I spend that money the app just then decides to tell me there is a new and improved app. I would’ve spent the money on the new one. Looks nicer, looks improved, but I’ve already spent my money on the last one and I’d feel scammed to get this one now.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-06-25*

Everything I was looking for - no data collection, purchase once option, easy to navigate UX, shared budget fx! Bravo!

**Developer response:** Thank you for this happy review! Bravo to your daily budgeting journey🥳 Juno

### 5/5 — Feature request

*2026-06-22, version 3.1*

Can you include a feature that allows to set a scheduled payments, but without splitting them over days…and make a special section for them?

### 5/5 — Data at risk unfortunately

*2026-06-21*

I WAS a big fan and used the older version very successfully for almost 5 years. However, the latest sync/backup failed and I’ve completely lost all my data from may 2023 !!! I can’t afford to do this again so will be unsubscribing and will need to go to somewhere where can backup onto a more stable platform. Very very disappointed as waste of my time.

**Developer response:** Hi there,

The app automatically creates backups, so your data should still be there.

Please go to Settings > Backup and restore the latest backup. That should bring your data back.

We are not aware of any general sync issues at the moment, but we’re happy to troubleshoot this with you.

Please email us at hello@todays-budget.com and we’ll take a closer look.

Sorry for the confusion.

Best,
Juno

### 5/5 — ADHD friendly

*2026-06-15*

Not that’s is official assessment, but it’s a struggle for ADHD people to create routines and this app is working well for me. I enter data almost everyday and have saved 10K$ in less than a year 🎉. 

If I slack for few days, I can always click the calendar icon on the bottom of main screen to go back in time and verify money movements with my back account and then I’m set again 

Huge thanks to developers - you are changing lives 💃🕺

**Developer response:** Awww, so happy to hear! I'm in my 40s and I'm now finding out that maybe I've had ADHD all my life too. Maybe that's why I needed to build this app for myself. Thank you for the awesome review! Juno

### 5/5 — Brilliant app

*2026-06-08*

I never leave app reviews but this app is so useful, easy to use, and motivating. It’s also a huge draw that it doesn’t collect data from me. Thank you for such a great app!

**Developer response:** Thank you, happy to hear!☺️

### 5/5 — もっと早く出会いたかった！

*2026-06-01*

これまで、別の家計簿アプリを使用してきっちり支出の記録は出来ていたものの、赤字続きで自己嫌悪の日々。。。
何にどれだけ使っているのかは分かっても、その先の「じゃあ具体的に日々どれくらい使っていいの？」までは管理出来ていなかったのです。
その悩みを気持ち良く解消してくれたのが、この神アプリ！
一日ごとの予算をアプリが自動計算して教えてくれるので、私はただ何も考えずそれを考慮しながら生活するのみ。
支出を自動取り込みではなく手動で入力する点も、意識改善になりとても良かったです。
とにかく、誰もにオススメしたい良アプリです！

**Developer response:** レビューありがとうございます！とても嬉しいです☺️

まさにそこが、このアプリで一番大切にしているポイントです。

「いくら使えるのか」が分からないと、少しお金を使うだけでも罪悪感が出てしまいますよね。

だからこそ、「今いくらあるか」ではなく、「今日いくら使っても大丈夫か」に集中できるように作りました。

その考え方が伝わっていて、本当に嬉しいです。

これからもぜひご活用ください！

### 5/5 — Not tech-savvy but love this!

*2026-05-20*

Seriously the app I use the most and really helps with saving my money. And records for tax time.

**Developer response:** Thank you, happy to hear! 😊

### 3/5 — Update

*2026-05-08, version 3.0.2*

Hi the new update is very hard to use. The search function doesn’t work anymore. I cant find anything. My saved memos are not auto populating anymore. Layout isn’t fluid. Been using this app for so many years now. Please revert it back to the original format
