About

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 โ€ข One big number on screen โ€” what's left for today โ€ข See how a purchase changes your day before you commit โ€” easier to skip impulse buys โ€ข Log an expense in two taps on a custom keypad โ€ข Note and category โ€” optional, never required โ€ข Full history: by day and by category, with quick delete and undo โ€ข End-of-day summary: what the day cost and what the new daily limit will be โ€ข Home Screen widget โ€” see what's left without opening the app โ€ข Light and dark themes โ€ข 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.
