About

Sable Budget

Read full description

Sable is a budget you keep by hand — 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 — 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 — 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.

About

Budget Rev

Most budget apps feel like homework. Budget Rev feels like a toy you want to pick up. Every part of it is built to be touched: a dial you spin, a sentence you fill in, bars that bend and spring. The more fun it is to log a spend, the more you actually do it, and the more you actually know where your money goes. SAY IT, DON'T FILL IT IN Tap + and finish a sentence: "Spent €12.50 at Coffee Lab on eating out today." That's the whole form. Places you go often remember their category, so the next coffee is two taps. SPIN THROUGH YOUR DAYS A curved dial with a satisfying click on every day. Spin back to see what you spent last Tuesday, or ahead to plan next week. PULL THE DAY INTO A MONTH Drag the dial down and it stretches, lets go, and snaps into a calendar, every day with spending marked. BUDGETS YOU CAN FEEL Feature the categories you care about and watch their bars fill as the month goes on. Swipe between them like flipping through cards. SEE YOUR MONTHS AT A GLANCE In Insights, every month is a bar on the dial, taller where you spent more. Spin it and see how this month compares with the last, and which categories moved. YOURS, AND ONLY YOURS No sign-up required, no ads, no tracking. Everything stays on your iPhone and in your own iCloud. Made for iPhone, with light and dark mode, springy animations and haptics you can feel.
