Know where your money goes, every day. BudgetCheck turns your monthly budget into a simple daily allowance, so you always know what you can spend today without wrecking the rest of the month. A DAILY ALLOWANCE THAT ADAPTS Overview splits what's left in your budget across the remaining days and tells you exactly how much you can spend today. Income, expenses and net at a glance, plus a daily spending chart that shows when you went over your pace. ADD AN EXPENSE IN THREE SECONDS Type the amount, tap a category, save. The quick-add keypad is built for one hand, with date, note and repeat options right below. BUDGETS FOR EVERY CATEGORY Groceries, dining, transport, bills β give each category its own limit and see how it tracks against the month. When a category goes over, BudgetCheck tells you right away. Need breathing room? Raise a limit temporarily for this month only; next month it goes back to normal. RECURRING PAYMENTS ON AUTOPILOT Set up rent, utilities and subscriptions once and they log themselves on the due date. See your total fixed costs, what share of your recurring income they take, and what's coming up next. SAVINGS GOALS IN ANY CURRENCY β OR GOLD Keep each goal in its own unit: dollars, euros, any other currency, or grams of gold. Progress is tracked in that unit, so exchange-rate swings never blur how much you've actually saved. INSIGHTS AND CHARTS Category breakdowns, month-over-month comparisons and daily trends help you spot habits. With Pro, export all your entries to an Excel spreadsheet. HOME & LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS See what's left this month, your daily allowance, today's spending and your top budgets right on your Home Screen. Tap Add to log an expense straight from the widget. Lock Screen widgets show your daily allowance and savings goal progress at a glance. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your data stays on your device. No account, no bank login, and we never sell your data. BUDGETCHECK PRO BudgetCheck is free to use with ads. Pro removes all ads, unlocks your full history beyond the last 3 months and the yearly view, adds Excel export, and lifts the free limits of 10 expense categories, 5 income categories and 5 active savings goals. The calm way to stay on budget.
