Track expenses
Record transactions by category and see where your money actually goes.
BudgetBuddy brings income, expenses, savings and shared finances together. See your current position, plan the month and understand what is actually available to spend.
A useful budget is not about constant calculations. It should quickly answer: what am I spending, what can I plan and am I heading in the right direction?
Record transactions by category and see where your money actually goes.
Set amounts for selected categories or start without a plan and follow your actual pace.
Create goals, record contributions and follow progress without mixing savings with daily spending.
Share selected budgets, assign roles and settle group expenses with other people.
Speed up data entry with receipt and financial document scanning.
Insights explain pace, trends and forecasts clearly, without complicated spreadsheets.
Choose the year and display currency. You do not need to plan every category immediately.
Categories build a clear picture of your month and make periods comparable.
The dashboard and insights show what remains and whether your current pace is healthy.
