What's safe to spend right now? Not your bank balance. What's left after bills, subscriptions, and savings - before the next payday. No bank connection required. Ever. No account. No sign-in. Brim shows you one honest number, and it never leaves your iPhone. SET UP ONCE. KNOW EVERY DAY. Add your bills, subscriptions, and recurring expenses once. Brim deducts them automatically - that number on your home screen is what's actually yours to spend. No mental math. No guessing before you spend. NO BANK CONNECTION. STILL AUTOMATIC. Brim never connects to your bank. Set up an Apple Pay automation once, and every tap to pay logs itself as an expense - no manual entry, ever. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE Salary on the 29th. Freelance month. Two paychecks at different times. Brim plans on what you actually expect to earn, and adjusts as reality unfolds. ASK SIRI AI Ask Siri what's left in your budget, or for any category, like "Ask Brim what I have left for Coffee Shops." Ask Siri to add a transaction, hands free. Search your transactions right from Spotlight. UNDERSTAND YOUR MONEY, AT A GLANCE Six charts, each with one job. • Spending Breakdown - watch your paycheck flow from income to every category • Spending Trend - is this month better or worse than your usual? • Top Spending - which categories are absorbing the most? • Saving Rate - are you on track? Benchmarks included, not a vague thumbs-up Tap any chart. Apple Intelligence tells you what it means, in one sentence, on your device. ONE TAP TO ADD AN EXPENSE Tap once inside the app. Pick a category. Done. Or set up an Apple Pay automation in iOS Shortcuts and let your purchases log themselves. Whichever feels less like work. Brim also suggests the right emoji when you create a new category - small touch, but it makes the app feel like yours. YOUR ACCOUNTS, OVER TIME See your balance for every account or just one, from a week to all time. Touch the chart to read any day, and Apple Intelligence sums up what's on screen in one sentence. Add the Accounts widget, or ask Siri for your balance. WORKS WHILE YOU'RE NOT LOOKING • 9 Home Screen widgets, plus Lock Screen widgets • Browse what's ahead in the new Upcoming calendar • A reminder before a recurring payment goes out • Apple Pay automation via Shortcuts • Recurring bills auto-deducted every month PRIVATE BY DESIGN. NO SIGN-IN, EVER. Open Brim and start. No account to create, no email, no password. Your financial data lives on your device. iCloud sync goes through your personal account - we never see it. The AI features run on-device too - your transactions never leave your iPhone. BUILT TO BE FAST Opens instantly. No loading screen. Just your number, right there. Logging an expense on the go takes three seconds. That's the whole point. DATA YOU OWN • CSV import from other budget apps • CSV export anytime • 180+ currencies supported BUILT WITH YOU Made by one indie developer who uses Brim every day.
