About

Budgets

Features
Read full description

Budgets is the budget tracker you actually want to use. Most budgeting apps are cluttered, glitchy, confusing, and inflexible. Budgets is different: clean, modern, and designed to get out of your way so you can focus on what matters. Not every budget is monthly. Create budgets for anything — a vacation, weekly groceries, a one-off home renovation — and Budgets breaks them down so you can see how much is left today to stay on pace. Gone over in one area? Spread Remaining redistributes what's left over the remaining days, weeks or months — so your daily number reflects where you actually are, not where you planned to be. Features: — Create completely custom budgets for any goal or timeframe — See how much is left today — not just a running total — Track spending simply and beautifully, #tag an expense to see a budget-level breakdown — Beautiful home screen widgets to see your budget at a glance and add expenses in a tap — Log expenses with Siri without even opening the app — Clean, modern design unlike anything else in the Finance category — Spread Remaining to correct your course when life doesn't go to plan Free to get started. Unlock unlimited budgets with a one-time purchase. Disclaimer: Budgets provides basic calculations based on the data and rules you enter, and does not guarantee accuracy. It is not financial advice. Always independently verify totals before making financial decisions.
