Know what's actually safe to spend. Most budgeting apps think in calendar months. Your money doesn't — it arrives by paycheck and leaves through bills. Enoughly is built around that reality: one honest number tells you what's truly spendable after the bills due before your next payday, with a safety net you never touch. ONE PURCHASE. NO SUBSCRIPTION. NO BANK LINKING. Enoughly is free to try for 14 days, then a single one-time purchase unlocks it forever on Mac, iPhone and iPad, with Family Sharing. It never asks for your bank credentials — import your bank's CSV, QFX, or OFX files instead. There are no servers, no accounts, and no analytics: your data lives on your devices and syncs through your own iCloud. The privacy label says "Data Not Collected" because that's how it's built. SAFE TO SPEND • Liquid cash − bills due before payday − your safety net = one glanceable number • On the Dashboard, in the Mac menu bar, and in home-screen and Lock Screen widgets • A Discreet widget option shows your status with no dollar amounts at all PAYCHECK-ENVELOPE BUDGETS • Give each category an allowance that refills every payday • Build envelopes automatically from your real spending history • See what's left in every envelope, and what's leaking outside them BRING IN YOUR TRANSACTIONS • Import the CSV, QFX, or OFX files your bank already offers • Automatic categorization, custom rules, and duplicate detection GET OUT OF DEBT • Snowball and avalanche payoff plans with dates and interest saved • A printable per-payday payment plan • What-if simulator: see how financing a car or making a lump-sum payment moves your debt-free date — including trade-ins with negative equity INSIGHTS THAT WATCH YOUR BACK • Paycheck report card after every payday: what came in, where it went • Alerts for bill spikes, possible double charges, and subscriptions that quietly raised prices • Optional AI coaching by Apple Intelligence, in the personality of your choice — from a drill sergeant to a butler YOUR DATA IS YOURS • Encrypted, password-protected backups • One-tap CSV export that opens in any spreadsheet or finance app • Net worth tracking across cash, credit, property, vehicles, and investments Enoughly: the paycheck-first budget for people who want one clear answer — can I afford this before payday?

About

Paykeep

Paykeep gives you two numbers that matter: what is safe to spend this month, and what is still to come out of your accounts. Both are calculated from your real pay stubs, not a hopeful guess. Tap in each pay stub as it arrives. Paykeep averages what your months really paid and helps you budget off a steady share of that, say 70%. It deliberately expects less than your average, so a surprise can only ever be a good one. A steady salary gets the same honest plan, and pay that moves around, overtime, tips, shift differentials, invoices, is exactly what the math was built for. Your month runs payday to payday, and every bill knows its day. At any moment you can see what has already gone out, what is still to come, and what that leaves you. WHAT IT DOES - One steady number to live on: everything above it is a bonus - Always know what has come out this month, and what is still to pay - Months run payday to payday, so the bills reset the day you are paid - Optional weekend and bank holiday rule: pay that is due on a Saturday arrives the working day before, and bills leave the working day after, the way your bank really moves money - Pay stubs pre-fill from the last one: entry is a check, not a chore - Variable bills like groceries and electricity learn from what they actually cost - Bills sit on the accounts they leave from, and a shared joint account is tracked without touching your own totals - Group yearly expenses like tax, insurance and the service into one savings pot with one monthly amount, and the pot pays each bill when it lands - Savings pots and loans on honest bars: the goal, the plan, and the truth - A plain-words summary that reads your month back to you SET UP ONCE Ten or fifteen minutes, one sitting: your last few pay stubs, the bills, any loans, your savings. After that, about two minutes a month. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no server, no analytics. Your figures stay on your phone and in your own iCloud, and nowhere else. Paykeep cannot see your pay. ONE MONTH FREE Every plan starts with one month free: time to add as many pay stubs as you like, old ones included, and live with the prediction. After the trial, Paykeep Pro keeps the app working for 2.99 a month or 24.99 a year, cancel any time. Without Pro everything you entered stays safely visible, read-only. Paykeep is a planning tool, not financial advice. Every figure is an estimate built from your own pay stubs.
