Budgetfold is a simple monthly budget for one person or a whole household. Add your income, plan spending categories, log expenses as they happen, and see where the month stands at a glance. SET UP IN A MINUTE Tell Budgetfold what comes in each month and pick your categories. It suggests amounts from your income, and you adjust anything. BUDGET TOGETHER Share a budget with your partner or roommates using a simple invite code. Everyone sees the same numbers in real time, and each entry shows who added it. CLEAR AT A GLANCE The overview shows income, planned spending, what's spent, and what remains, plus how you're doing compared with the same day last month. Category bars turn orange near the limit and red when you pass it. LOG SPENDING IN SECONDS Add an expense from the Home Screen widget, with Siri ("Add an expense in Budgetfold"), or with one tap in the app. Ask Siri how much is left this month. MONTHS THAT CARRY OVER Mark rent and subscriptions as repeating, and they're added to next month automatically, along with your categories. GENTLE REMINDERS Optional heads-ups when a category reaches 80% of its plan, and a reminder when a new month starts. BUDGETFOLD PLUS (OPTIONAL) Link your bank accounts in the US and Canada through Plaid, and new purchases land in the right category on their own. Payday deposits are spotted and added as income with one tap. Name your accounts, like "Joint checking", and reconnect a bank in seconds when it asks you to sign in again. One subscription covers everyone in the budgets you own; each person links only their own banks. Plus is $8.99 per month or $89.99 per year after a free 2-week trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID and the subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in Settings. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads, no tracking. Bank linking is optional, your bank credentials never touch Budgetfold, and you can unlink a bank at any time. Delete your account and all of its data from inside the app. Sign in with Apple, Google, or email.
