About

Read full description

Pace is a budget planner and expense tracker that helps you see whether your spending is on track for the month. Instead of only showing what you already spent, Pace compares your spending progress with the time left in your budget cycle, so you can tell when you're spending too fast and adjust before you go over budget. FEATURES • Track expenses quickly and clearly • Set a monthly budget • See how much budget is left • Compare spending progress with time progress • Stay aware of recurring bills and subscriptions • Review spending by category, week, and month • Look back at past budget cycles and summaries WHY PACE Most budgeting apps tell you what happened. Pace helps you understand where you stand right now. It shows not just how much you've spent, but whether that spending still makes sense for this point in the month. That makes it easier to answer questions like: Am I still on track this month? How much can I safely spend? Are upcoming bills going to make the rest of the month tighter? Is overspending becoming a pattern? Pace is designed to make personal budgeting feel clearer, more visual, and easier to understand at a glance. Pace is free to download and get started.
