Weekly Budget is a simple budget app built around one idea: plan your money one week at a time. A whole month is a long time to stay on track. A week is short enough to see where your money goes, fix overspending early, and start fresh every Monday (or any day you choose). ■ HOW IT WORKS 1. Set a budget for this week. 2. Record what you spend — pick a category and enter the amount. 3. See how much you have left, at a glance. ■ FEATURES • Weekly budget See your remaining budget for the week right away. Change a week's budget anytime, or copy last week's. • Quick entry with a built-in calculator Add up a receipt or split a bill right in the amount field. • Your currency Choose the currency you use. Amounts with cents are supported. • Categories Food, transport, social, beauty and more. Add, rename, recolor and reorder them as you like. • Calendar See what you spent each day and how each week went. • Reports Weekly, monthly and yearly reports with charts and a breakdown by category. • Fixed expenses Register rent and subscriptions once, and they are recorded automatically.
