Dispatch
Read full descriptionHide full description
Type your money. One line at a time. Dispatch is an envelope budget you write like a note. Your balance is not money you can spend: all your money already has a job. Dispatch helps you give it one, then track every expense in a single line. HOW IT WORKS • Fund the month's envelope: "Salary 5000". • Split it into postes (Rent, Groceries, Transport…) until "To dispatch" reaches zero. • Spend in one line: "25 Groceries bread". Amount, poste, note, account, date: in any order. • Built-in maths (4.50*30), dates in plain words (yesterday, monday, 15/10) and autocomplete. ALWAYS KNOW WHERE YOU STAND • Home shows what's left to allocate and what went over. • A banner warns you when a poste is spending too fast. • Adjust your postes mid-month to cover an overspend. • Track a poste live on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. YOUR ACCOUNTS, AS THEY REALLY ARE • Running and savings accounts, with aliases for faster entry. • Transfers between accounts, fees included. • Expected vs actual balance: spot a forgotten expense instantly. • Attach a refund or a top-up to its expense and see the net cost, receipt photo included. SAVINGS & PROJECTS • Set money aside for a goal and track its progress. • Pin your key projects; use or release savings when you need them. STATISTICS • Am I moving forward? What's taking up room? What's changing? Three questions, clear answers across months. WITH YOU EVERYWHERE • iPhone and iPad, with a list-and-detail layout on iPad. • Apple Watch: log an expense in a few taps. • Widgets for the Home Screen and the watch. • Synced with your own iCloud. YOUR PRIVACY • No Dispatch account, no ads, no tracking. • Your data stays in your iCloud. • Hide your balances and protect them with Face ID; shake to hide everything. • Full backup and restore, attachments included. Works with any currency. In English and French.

How much is left for groceries? How much can you spend on fun? Budget Pockets is a simple envelope budget and expense tracker. Create your own wallets for groceries, fun, essentials or any purpose, set a budget for each, and see what you can still spend. CREATE WALLETS THAT FIT YOUR LIFE Choose each wallet's name and budget. Organize your monthly household spending, personal allowance or hobbies your way. The initial period is this month, and you can set your own start and end dates. CHOOSE A WALLET AND RECORD AN EXPENSE Select the wallet you used, enter an amount and record it. Only that wallet's remaining budget decreases. Add a date or an optional note when you need more detail. SEE WHAT IS LEFT Check the remaining budget, today's spending, end date and daily spending guide for each wallet. An overspent wallet is shown separately, so another wallet's balance does not hide it. REVIEW YOUR HISTORY View, edit or delete expense records and add refunds. Start the next budget when you choose; earlier periods and records stay in History. Archive wallets you no longer use and restore them later. 10 LANGUAGES AND 10 CURRENCIES Available in Japanese, English, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese. Choose JPY, USD, EUR, KRW, CNY, TWD, BRL, GBP, CAD or AUD for a wallet. Currency conversion is not automatic. NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED Budgets and records are stored in this app's database on your device. You do not need an account or a bank connection. The remaining budget is a guide based on the expenses and refunds you enter, rather than your bank or cash balance. OS backups or device transfers may include your records, but restoration is not guaranteed. Deleting the app may also delete records on your device. Support: budgetpockets@dotnull.co.jp
