A free, no ads budget app that is actually good. Whether you're building your first budget, replacing a spreadsheet, tracking shared spending, or just trying to keep tabs on your money, Marble Budget is the best place to do it. Some budgeting apps make you link your bank account, bury you in bloat, or sell your data. Marble Budget does none of that. You create your budget, you enter what you spend, and you stay in control - we couldn't access your data even if we wanted to. When you want to automate and simplify, Marble Budget Premium gives you those tools too. FREE • Monthly budgeting with unlimited categories and groups. • Envelopes to split your money by purpose — and move it between them anytime. • Fast transaction entry. • Spending tracking by category. • iCloud sync across your Apple devices. • Share a budget with a partner, family, or anyone you trust. • No ads. • No required bank sync. • No selling of your personal finance data.
