Budgey shows what's left of your paycheck, so you know what you can spend before you pay. Your bank balance still counts money that's going to rent and bills. Budgey takes that out and shows you one number. Budget by paycheck. Budget periods run payday to payday, so the math matches how you get paid. Auto transaction importing from your real banks and cards. Connect your bank or card once. New charges come in from the bank, so you don't type each one. You can turn Auto off and add spends by hand or scan a receipt. Cards and loans become payoff goals. Connect a card or loan and it starts as a payoff goal at today's balance. Budgey reminds you what to pay, and how much, before the due date. When you pay, the goal updates. Shared budgets. Share a budget by email. You both see the same categories, transactions, and notes. Bills and goals. Set due dates for recurring bills and get a reminder. Save toward a goal each paycheck. Ask Budgey. Ask if you can afford something and get a yes or no. Log a spend by typing or talking. iPhone, iPad, and the web. Use the same budget in the app and at budgeyapp.com. Home-screen widgets show your number at a glance.
