Stop managing your budget. Start managing your money. Tired of maintaining hundreds of entries just to see where your money is headed? With BudgetRescue, you enter your income and bills once. They repeat on their own schedule, and a running balance shows where you'll stand on any date. Setting up a budget takes about 5 minutes. Got a raise? Open your paycheck, change the amount, and tap Save. BudgetRescue asks whether to update just this entry or this and all future entries, and every future paycheck updates in one step. SEE WHERE YOUR MONEY IS HEADED - A running balance on every row, so you know exactly where you'll stand on any date - Color-coded balance: green when you're healthy, yellow when you drop below your minimum, red if you go negative - Your current balance is highlighted and shown first every time you open the app PLAN AROUND PAYDAY - Left after bills: today's balance minus the bills due before your next paycheck - Your lowest balance in the next 90 days, and the day it happens - This month's bills: how many are paid and how much is still due - Optional bill reminders the day before bills are due, never more than one a day SET IT AND FORGET IT - Repeat entries weekly, every two weeks, twice a month, monthly, every 6 months, or yearly - Turn a one-time entry into a repeating one anytime - Change one entry or every future entry at once, like a raise that starts in May - Extend all your repeating entries at once when they're about to run out.
