"How much can I spend today?" Say goodbye to complicated budget apps. Check how much you can spend every morning. Budget Today splits your monthly budget into a daily amount you can actually act on. [Key Features] ● Today's Spendable Amount Set a monthly budget and we calculate what you can spend today from the days left. Your remaining budget updates the moment you log an expense. Start your budget cycle on payday — the 1st, the 25th, or the last day of the month. ● Payment Screenshot Auto-Entry Capture card payment notifications as screenshots and upload them in bulk. AI reads the amount, merchant, and category so nothing slips through. ● AI Receipt Scanner Snap a photo of a receipt and the amount, merchant, and category fill in automatically. ● Income Tracking Log salary, allowance, and side income alongside expenses. See both side by side in the calendar, history, and statistics. ● Budget Report & Custom Budgets Review how well you kept this month's budget, and set separate budgets like "$100 on dining this week" by category and period. ● Fixed Expenses & Installments Subscriptions and bills are logged automatically every month, and installment purchases are spread across months in your budget. ● Home Widget See today's spendable amount and today's spending without opening the app. ● Desktop App (Windows · macOS) Quick entries on your phone, calm review on your PC. Sign in with the same account and everything stays in sync. ● Excel Import Bring your history from another app — any spreadsheet layout. AI maps the columns and duplicates are skipped automatically. ● Offline First · Your Data Stays Yours Works without internet. Data lives on your device by default; sync only when you turn it on. [Perfect For] - Anyone who wonders "Where did all my money go this month?" - People who gave up on budgeting because manual entry was a chore - Workers who budget from payday to payday - Students managing an allowance - Spreadsheet users who want phone + desktop together - Anyone who wants a simple, no-fuss budget tracker Start building smarter spending habits with Budget Today!

Snap it, and it fills itself in. You just check. Receipts, payment text alerts, the transaction list inside your banking app — photograph or screenshot them, and Harubi reads the date, amount and merchant and fills the entry in for you. No ads, no account, no bank login. ■ Why photos instead of a bank connection? Harubi never asks for your bank credentials. · Cash never shows up in a bank feed. A photo of the receipt catches it. · You never hand your bank login to a third party — there is nobody to hand it to. · Nothing to sign up for. Open the app and start. ■ Three kinds of images, sorted out automatically · Paper receipts — merchant, total and date, read straight off the slip. · Payment and card alert messages — screenshot the alert and it becomes one transaction. · Bank and card statement lists — screenshot the transaction list in your banking app and every row is read at once. Whatever you send, a review screen comes first. Correct a misread figure, untick a row you don't want, then save. ■ Several screenshots, stitched into one list A statement never fits on one screen. Scroll, take as many screenshots as you need, and hand them over together. · Overlapping stretches are matched up by running balance, so nothing is imported twice. · If a date header was cut off at the top of a shot, the date is carried across from the neighboring shots. · Transactions you have already saved come back pre-unticked. ■ Share now, sort it out later Send images to Harubi from Photos or Messages with the share sheet. iOS won't let an app launch itself, so nothing happens at that moment — but the next time you open Harubi, everything you shared is waiting and gets sorted in one go. ■ Private by construction · Text recognition runs on your iPhone, through Apple's Vision framework. Photos are not uploaded for processing. · Your transaction records stay on this device. · No account, no login, no bank connection. · No ads, no tracking. The App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected". · Not a single analytics or advertising SDK, and no third-party libraries at all. ■ The budgeting part · Income, expense and transfer entries with a large number keypad · Daily, calendar, weekly, monthly, summary and memo views · Transaction search — by details, category or asset, narrowed to a period, with your recent searches kept · Category statistics (pie chart) with period and account filters · Per-category budgets with remaining amount and spending pace · Event budgets — keep a trip, a holiday or a move on its own named budget, apart from your monthly one · Trend tab — your daily balance, and the transactions behind any day · Balance trend graph per account · Double-entry asset tracking — cash, bank and card balances kept in step · Recurring expenses — rent, subscriptions, anything that leaves on the same day each month · Automatic insights — budgets nearly spent, too much in Other, month-over-month jumps · Backup and restore to a JSON file (photos and videos attached to memos, and recurring-expense rules, are not included in the backup) · On-device AI — a summary of your month and category suggestions for Other (iOS 26 on Apple Intelligence devices) · Light / dark mode and theme colors ■ Receipts we read Korea, Japan, the United States, Germany and the Philippines. Budgeting is all about consistency. Start light — just today's spending. iPhone only. Requires iOS 17 or later.
