Expense Tracker
Read full descriptionHide full description
Budget Pro is a personal expense tracker built around one idea: logging a purchase should take one second, not two minutes. No bank connections. No syncing delays. No credentials to hand over. You type what you spent, tap a category, and get back to your day. FAST ENTRY Open the app and the amount field is already waiting. Enter the number, pick a category, save. Most entries take one tap and one number. CATEGORIES THAT FIT YOU Start with sensible defaults, then rename, add or remove categories until they match how you actually spend. SEE THE MONTH CLEARLY A simple breakdown of where your money went — by category, by week, by month. Nothing to configure. SEARCH AND EDIT Find any past expense by amount, category or note. Fix a typo or recategorize in a couple of taps. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your expenses stay yours. Budget Pro never asks for banking credentials, because it doesn't need them. FREE TO USE The full tracker is free, with generous daily and monthly limits on entries, categories and labels. Questions or ideas? Write to hi@usebudgetpro.com — a real person reads every message.
