BudgetShot helps you keep personal finances organized without mixing everyday cash flow, savings, debts, loans, currencies, commodities, and stock positions into one unclear view. Track income and expenses, manage multiple account types, follow monthly asset changes, and review your portfolio with cost-based and live market perspectives. Key features: - Local-first personal finance tracking - Optional iCloud sync across your devices - Bank, cash, currency, commodity, debt, receivable, loan, and stock accounts - Income and expense transaction tracking - Monthly budget and asset detail views - Live market views for exchange rates, commodities, and stock quotes when available - Stock account cash entries, buy/sell records, commissions, transfer cost, and open-position cost tracking - JSON backup, export, and restore tools - Local reminders for payment and credit card dates Market, stock, currency, and commodity values are provided only as reference data for personal finance tracking and approximate calculations. They may be delayed or unavailable, and BudgetShot does not provide investment advice, trading, brokerage, banking, or a professional licensed market data feed. BudgetShot does not include advertising or third-party tracking in the current app build. Your finance records stay on your device or, if you choose it, in your private iCloud database through Apple CloudKit.
