Budget planner

Plan each month, bring in what you actually spent, and always know what is left.

Make your plan

  1. 1Pick a starting point, such as Home or Freelance, and enter what comes in each month.
  2. 2Every category gets a share of that income, so the plan adds up from the start. Tap any category to change its figure.
  3. 3For a month that is different, like school fees in September, tick Only for this month when you change the figure.

Bring in your spending

  1. 1Choose Import, then Bank statement and pick the PDF from your bank's app or website. Any bank works, and no bank login is needed.
  2. 2Check the preview: what is new, what is already in your budget, and what your rules will sort. Then add it.
  3. 3Importing the same statement again adds nothing twice. A CSV from a bank, card or spreadsheet works the same way, and you can add anything by hand.

Sort what needs a category

  1. 1Open Needs a category and choose where each payment belongs.
  2. 2Tap Always to make a rule: the word shown, such as uber, puts every payment that mentions it in that category from now on, including ones waiting now.
  3. 3Money moved between your own accounts goes in Moving between my accounts, which is kept but never counted.

Read your month

  1. 1Left to spend is what you planned to spend, minus everything that has gone, including payments without a category yet.
  2. 2The line on the bar is today. If spending is ahead of it, the month may run short; the daily figure shows what you can spend each day to stay on plan.
  3. 3Download a month as CSV from the button beside Add.
