Budler is for you. It's the personal finance app for people who want real answers, not reassurance. Budler is a free expense tracker, budget planner, and spending tracker for daily money management. Track expenses in seconds, plan a monthly budget, monitor bills and subscriptions, split spending across multiple accounts, and set savings goals you'll actually hit. FEATURES • AI Coach: Pick a personality — Supportive, Brutal, or Gen Z (plus Premium personalities BrainRot, Wealthy Mentor, and Romantic) — and get spending feedback that actually matches your mood. • Hours of Life (Premium): See every expense converted into hours of your income, not just dollars. A $45 dinner hits different when it reads "10.8 hours of your life." • Multi-Currency: Log expenses in any currency while travelling or spending abroad — Budler converts and tracks everything in your base currency automatically. • Budget Buckets: Split a monthly budget across spending buckets and track real-time spending against each one. • Bill & Subscription Tracking: Never get blindsided by a recurring charge again. • Savings Goals: Set a target, watch your progress grow, and check it off when you hit it. • iCloud Backup: Back up and sync your data across your devices — free, no subscription — or keep everything fully offline as a private money manager. • Works Offline: Every expense saves to your device first. No account, no sign-up, no bank login. BUDLER PREMIUM — ONE PAYMENT, YOURS FOREVER • 3 AI coaching sessions a month (the free plan includes 1) • Create, edit, and delete your own budget categories • Up to 3 accounts — Personal, Business, Joint, side by side • Hours of Life • BrainRot, Wealthy Mentor, and Romantic coach personalities No subscription.
