Bold Budget shows you the whole picture: what you spent this month, what you own, what you owe, and where your net worth is heading. TRACK EVERY ACCOUNT Add checking, savings, high-yield savings, cash, brokerage, and retirement accounts alongside credit cards, loans, and mortgages. Choose how each one is tracked: let your transactions move the balance automatically, or enter the number yourself whenever it changes — ideal for investment and retirement accounts you only check once a month. SEE YOUR NET WORTH Assets minus liabilities on one screen, with a chart of how it has moved over time. Assets and liabilities are split out and totaled, and each account shows when it was last updated so you always know how current the number is. ADD A TRANSACTION IN SECONDS The Add screen opens straight to the keypad. Type the amount, tap a category, done. Add a title, account, location, date, or tags only when you want to. EXPENSES, INCOME, AND TRANSFERS Moving money between your own accounts isn't spending. Transfers keep your balances honest while staying out of your spending totals — paychecks into checking, savings contributions, credit card and loan payments. ENVELOPES AND CATEGORY GOALS Organize spending into categories with your own icons and colors. Give a category a goal — a cap to stay under or a target to reach — and see at a glance where you stand. CHARTS THAT MAKE SENSE A spending breakdown by category for whatever timeframe you pick: week, month, year, or a custom range. Filter by account, tag, or category to answer a specific question. RECURRING EXPENSES Keep bills and subscriptions in one list with a running monthly total, so nothing catches you off guard. TAG WHAT MATTERS Tag transactions by trip, celebration, project, or any other event, then filter to see exactly what it cost. SHARE A BUDGET Invite someone to a budget by username. Owners can add and edit everything; viewers can follow along without changing anything — built for couples, families, and roommates. Everything syncs across devices, so a transaction added on one phone shows up on the other. Take charge of your financial future with Bold Budget — your tool for mindful spending and financial clarity.
