Leeway is a calm, text-first way to stay on top of your money. Most budgeting apps ask you to categorise, analyse, and optimise. Leeway simply lets you write things down, like a note. Type “Coffee 3.50”, “Lunch 12”, or just a note with no amount. Leeway understands the numbers automatically and shows what you have left today and this month. Set up your monthly income and fixed costs once, and the rest becomes a quiet daily allowance. Spend more one day and it gently adjusts the days ahead no warnings, no guilt, just clarity. There are no categories and no bank connections. Everything stays on your device. Leeway feels as simple as writing in a notebook, with the reassurance of always knowing where you stand.
