Daycap

Daycap is a minimalist daily budget tracker. Set an amount and a number of days โ the app splits it across the days and shows one number: how much you can spend today. That's it. Every expense lowers what's left for today. Spend less โ tomorrow's limit grows. Overspend โ Daycap calmly recalculates the remaining days, no red numbers, no blame. Got paid? Your daily budget grows on the spot. No accounts, no ads, no bank connections. THINK BEFORE YOU BUY About to buy something? Type the price and watch what would be left for today โ the number drops before your eyes, before you confirm anything. One look is often enough to cool off and skip an impulse buy. And if you really need it โ two taps, and it's logged. WHY DAYCAP โข One big number on screen โ what's left for today โข See how a purchase changes your day before you commit โ easier to skip impulse buys โข Log an expense in two taps on a custom keypad โข Note and category โ optional, never required โข Full history: by day and by category, with quick delete and undo โข End-of-day summary: what the day cost and what the new daily limit will be โข Home Screen widget โ see what's left without opening the app โข Light and dark themes โข Your data stays yours: on device and in your private iCloud. No third-party servers. WHO IT'S FOR For anyone who wants a simple, beautiful way to stay on budget โ no spreadsheets, no reports, no bank statements. Inspired by paper notebooks and Swiss typography. No charts. No guilt. Just a cap for the day.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Daycap at none against Subscriptions's 1. Daycap also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 days). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
