ChalkBudget is a completely new way to understand and manage money. Instead of numbers and tables, you’re met with a living blackboard where you drag and drop bills and coins directly into your budget categories. Money becomes concrete, visual, and easy to grasp. The app is designed to be both fun and powerful. Everything on screen behaves like it does in real life — money stacks up, falls into place, sorts itself, and is summed automatically. With quick input, you can add amounts with a single tap, and the hand-drawn chalk style turns budgeting into a creative tool rather than a boring spreadsheet. When you want to dive deeper, clear overviews, bar charts, and pie charts show how your finances evolve over time. Perfect for anyone who wants clarity fast — without the hassle. ChalkBudget supports multiple languages, sound effects, haptics, different fonts, and iCloud sync, so your budget is always safe and available across all your devices. ChalkBudget makes money understandable, visual — and actually a little fun. Some features require a subscription. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Subscriptions can be managed and cancelled in the user’s Apple ID settings.
