Know what’s safe to spend today. Budget Habit divides what’s left by the days until payday and gives you one number for today. Spend less and tomorrow’s number grows. Spend more and it shrinks. Logging takes seconds: snap a receipt, say an expense out loud, or add it from a widget. Then ask your budget anything. SAFE TO SPEND, ALL THE WAY TO PAYDAY • One number for today: what’s left until payday, split by the days that remain • See how long your money lasts at your current pace • Ask “why this much?” and the assistant shows the math LOGGING IN SECONDS • Snap a receipt and AI fills in the amount, store and category. You check and save • Say “add 40 for gas” and the expense is filled in for you • Add an expense or scan a receipt straight from a home-screen widget ASK YOUR BUDGET OUT LOUD • “Can I afford a new phone?” “How much did we spend on groceries this month?” • Answers come from your own numbers, with every sum worked out by the app • Talk or type, in any of 8 languages SMART SAVINGS GOALS • Save for a trip, an emergency fund or a new laptop • Rules count what to set aside: a share of every paycheck or of your spending, round-ups, or a fixed amount each month • A reminder when it’s time to save, and one tap to move the money into the goal REMINDERS THAT KEEP YOU ON TRACK • A heads-up before each bill is due • An alert when a category goes over its limit • A nudge when you haven’t logged for a while, and a monthly review • Turn on only the ones you want LIMITS, BILLS AND STATS • A limit for each category, with an early sign when one is running hot • Rent, subscriptions and bills on a calendar, so payday brings no surprises • Spending by category, store and family member, month after month ONE BUDGET FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY • Share a budget with up to 4 people.
