Sable is a budget you keep by hand ā a big keypad, monthly envelopes, savings buckets, and a quiet sense of what's left. You log spending by hand in seconds. That tiny moment of attention is the whole method: people who log by hand notice what they spend. WHAT SABLE DOES ⢠Monthly budget with a calm "what's left Ā· per day" pace ⢠Category envelopes that fill as you spend ⢠Savings buckets for the things you're building toward ⢠Bills & task reminders that actually repeat, with gentle notifications ⢠A month in review: top categories, one gentle note, no charts screaming at you WHAT SABLE REFUSES TO DO ⢠No bank or card connections ā ever ⢠No account, no sign-in, no cloud ⢠No analytics, no trackers, no ads. The app makes zero network calls. ⢠App Store privacy label: Data Not Collected YOUR DATA, LITERALLY Everything lives on your phone in an encrypted database. Back it up to a file that only your passphrase can open ā restore it on any phone. Lock the app behind Face ID. If you leave, take everything with you. NO SUBSCRIPTION Sable will never charge monthly. And your data is never for sale back to you: backup export and import are free in every version, always. Made for people who'd rather feel their spending than automate it.
