Wudget is a personal budget app that's easy to use every day. Log an expense in a couple of seconds, even straight from a widget on your Home Screen, without opening the app. No ads, no sign-up, and everything you enter is stored only on your iPhone. Wudget splits your income between accounts: Needs, Wants and Savings, by the 50/30/20 rule or in your own proportions. AN EXPENSE IN ONE TAP Widgets for your Home Screen: add an expense, income or transfer without opening the app, and keep an account's balance in sight. While your iPhone is locked, the amounts in widgets stay hidden. YOUR PAY SPLITS ITSELF Add an income and Wudget spreads it across your accounts: 50% for Needs, 30% for Wants, 20% for Savings. Each account shows right away how much you can still spend. KNOW WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES Analytics for a week, a month, a year or any dates you choose: expenses and income day by day, each category's share and the total in your accounts. Wudget compares your spending with your average income. And a large widget shows where your money went this month, right on your Home Screen. QUICK TRACKING, NO SPREADSHEETS Amount, category, done. Your most frequent categories come first, and the rest are a search away, by name or emoji. Add a note to any transaction: who with, where and what for. Transfer between accounts, or move an account's whole balance in one tap. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU No ads: nothing to watch, nothing to skip. No account and no bank login needed. Wudget doesn't send your amounts or transactions to a server, and you can take them with you at any time: export every transaction to CSV for Numbers, Excel or Google Sheets.
