About

MyPurse

Features
Read full description

A budgeting app for setting a budget and living within it. ■ Set a budget, then spend Set a budget for each item and enter what you spend; the amount left is calculated automatically. You can see at a glance how much you can still spend this month and how much per day until your next payday. The color changes when little is left or you go over budget. ■ Two budget books Keep two separate books, for example personal and family. When the month changes, "Start next month" saves the record, and you can choose a period to see the totals. ■ Consumption, waste and investing ratio Sort your spending into consumption, waste and investing, and compare it with the target golden ratio (consumption 70%, waste 5%, investing 25%). ■ See your savings grow on a chart Enter the balances of your cash, investment and retirement accounts each month to see your results so far and a forecast on a chart. It also shows when you are expected to reach your goal. ■ Wait box Instead of buying something right away, let it wait for a number of days based on its price, then decide. It helps prevent impulse buys. ■ Special fund Manage larger expenses paid from a bonus or similar in a fund separate from the monthly budget. ■ Themes Choose the screen colors from 16 themes. Book 1 and Book 2 are shown in different colors. You can also choose the color of the home screen icon from 20 options. On iPhone, you can choose the text size from Standard, Large and Extra large. ■ Widget See how much you can still spend this month on your home screen, without opening the app. ■ Your records stay with you There is no account to create. Your records are saved only on your device and in your own iCloud, and are not sent to the author's servers. There are no ads or analytics. Available in Japanese, English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional) and Korean.
