BracaBudget

BracaBudget is a personal finance app built around the envelope budgeting method — the proven strategy of giving every dollar a job before you spend it. The core question BracaBudget answers every day: How much can I spend this week? HOW IT WORKS Set your monthly envelope — the total amount you plan to spend. Then assign fixed allocations to predictable expenses like rent, groceries, or transport. What's left becomes your discretionary pool, divided week by week into a simple, clear spending allowance. FEATURES WEEKLY SPENDING DASHBOARD One clear number every week. A visual progress bar shows how much of your allowance remains — green when you're doing well, orange as you approach the limit, red when you've gone over. TRANSACTION TRACKING Log expenses and income in seconds. Assign categories, add notes, and review your full history anytime. All data stays on your device. ALLOCATIONS Set weekly or monthly spending caps per category. Visual progress indicators alert you when you're getting close, so you never blow a budget line without knowing it. DUAL-CURRENCY SUPPORT Budget in one currency, spend in another. BracaBudget fetches live exchange rates and converts your envelope automatically — perfect for expats, cross-border workers, or anyone managing finances in two currencies. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Add small, medium, or large widgets to see your remaining weekly allowance without opening the app. Your budget, always a glance away. SIRI & SHORTCUTS Log expenses hands-free using the "Add Expense" Siri Shortcut. Automate your financial routines with the Shortcuts app. SAVINGS HISTORY Review every past month at a glance. BracaBudget snapshots your monthly performance — including the exchange rate at the time — so historical data always reflects what actually happened. FLEXIBLE CALENDAR Start your week on Sunday or Monday. Set a custom month start date (1st–28th) to match your pay cycle instead of the calendar month. CATEGORY MANAGEMENT Use built-in categories or create your own with custom icons and colors. Separate expense and income categories keep your data clean. CSV IMPORT & EXPORT Back up your data or migrate it anytime. Full import and export support for transactions and allocations gives you complete control. PRIVACY FIRST BracaBudget is 100% local. Your financial data never leaves your device. No accounts required. No ads. No subscriptions. No tracking. Ever. BracaBudget is for anyone who wants clarity over their money without the complexity of a full financial suite — just a simple, honest answer to "what can I spend this week?"
