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
