We too are tired of running short by the 15th (or earlier...) each month. That's why we made Drift: a simple expense tracker and budget app that goes straight to the point. No cumbersome charts, no hassle, no ads, no confusing screens. Just a spending tracker that tells you what you can still spend today, and handles multiple currencies automatically. And because you're logging on purpose, you genuinely notice where the money goes. Set monthly budgets that fit your life, see what you've really got left per day, and catch the quiet little habits before they add up. It's the money manager for people who don't want to manage money, just keep more of it. WHAT DRIFT DOES Log an expense in seconds, in plain language. Type "coffee 4.50" or "groceries 62" and Drift does the rest Automatic categories, so you never sort your spending by hand Automatic currency conversion, with multi-currency support built in from day one. Perfect for travel expenses, freelancers paid abroad, or anyone living between two countries Budgets that tell you where you stand, not just what you spent. Your daily budget updates every time you log something A clean, fast daily expense log you can actually keep up with No ads, ever WHAT'S COMING We plan to add more to Drift: savings goals, emergency fund building, budgeting best practices. Anything simple and educational, because our goal is for you to get better with your money and finally relax about it. WHY IT WORKS Most of our daily users see their spending shrink within the first month. We believe it comes down to three things: 1. Tracking your expenses every day makes you more conscious about your money 2. The interface makes it crystal clear how much you really have left, so you second-guess "do I really need this?" 3. Logging an expense is so easy you won't give up like with other budget trackers WHO IT'S FOR Anyone who wants to stop overspending and start saving money without spreadsheets, bank syncing, or a finance degree. Students, freelancers, travelers, couples splitting a household budget, or just people who want to know where their salary goes. Ready to take control of your finances? Download Drift and start tracking your spending today.

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
