About

Brote

Features
Read full description

Brote is the personal finance app that gives every dollar a job. Most budgeting apps just tell you what you already spent. Brote helps you plan ahead โ€” so you always know how much to set aside each week for rent, a car payment, groceries, or anything else that's coming. ENVELOPES THAT FUND THEMSELVES Create an envelope for any recurring cost, link it to a bill you already track, and Brote tells you exactly how much to save per week. When the bill gets paid, the envelope automatically draws down โ€” no manual bookkeeping. KNOW WHAT'S ACTUALLY FREE TO SPEND See your real balance minus everything you've already set aside. No more guessing whether that grocery run is really affordable. AUTOMATIC CATEGORIZATION Brote learns from your spending habits and recognizes common merchants out of the box โ€” log a purchase at McDonald's or Starbucks and it's already filed under the right category. RECEIPT SCANNING & BULK IMPORT Scan a paper receipt or upload a screenshot of your bank statement โ€” Brote reads the merchant, amount, and date automatically, and lets you review and edit every entry before it's saved. BUDGETS THAT ALERT YOU Set a monthly limit per category and get notified the moment you're approaching it โ€” or have gone over. SPENDING TRENDS See exactly how this week and this month compare to the last, right on your dashboard โ€” plus a notification when a new week or month wraps up. SPLIT TRANSACTIONS One purchase, multiple categories โ€” divide a single transaction across as many categories as you need. GOALS & RECURRING BILLS Save toward one-time goals, track recurring subscriptions and bills, and even have Brote log them automatically when they're due. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your financial data lives in your own private iCloud account โ€” synced across your devices via Apple's CloudKit, never sent to any other server. Receipt scanning happens entirely on your device. BUILT FOR IPHONE Face ID protection, Home Screen widgets, haptic feedback, full accessibility support, and support for Spanish and English. Download Brote and start giving every dollar a job.
