Daily Budget Original Software

I’m typically pretty good about setting a budget in terms of knowing my monthly bills, but I always had trouble trying to budget for any extra costs, such as eating out or buying something extra. This app is great in that it allows you to set your monthly income and expenses, and then tells you how much extra you have each day based on those factors. It is also very simple to use and has a nice, clean interface. I personally am a very visual person, and being able to have my main page on blue (indicating I didn’t overspend my allowance for that day) gives me a sense of accomplishment at the end of each day. You do have to manually input any extra spending that you do outside of what you pre-set, but again, the simple design of the app makes this very quick and easy to do. The main features of the app are also free, with the option to purchase extras such as graphs and extra icons which show details of where your money is going. This allows you to see if you are maybe spending to much on, say, fast food each month. I would highly recommend this to anyone, especially college students like myself who are on a tight budget.

My MVP app. It’s the only app I’ve ever bothered to write a review for on the App Store. There’s a lot of budget apps out there but this one is unique, simple, and intuitive and designed with real life in mind. It really works to help me understand where money is going, and makes calculations for me to spread my larger expenses across days and see what that costs me per day. This app calculates a daily allowance based on what you tell it. It’s blue if you’re ahead of the game, and orange if you’re behind. Other apps tend to rely on predictable income and expenses. They rely on category-based spending limits that i have to (somehow) estimate and set, and failing to properly categorize each transaction into the appropriate bucket makes the whole system break. This one doesn’t! Expenses, income, and savings can be entered daily, monthly, or over whatever time period is predictable and feels most intuitive, so it could work for all kinds of livelihoods and incomes, whether you’re a single-income salaried earner or a inconsistent /multiple income/tips earner. Categories don’t matter unless you want them to. 10/10 would do it again.

My husband and I have been married for close to a decade and money has always been a stressor. Most budget apps set goals by month by how do you know what you’ll need at the end of each month? The Daily Budget uses the same idea as a service like Mint but it revolutionized our spending and communication to have a DAILY amount we can spend. You roll over unspent money to the next day, you can spread big purchases over a long period of time, it syncs the data between phones, and it’s easy to set the daily amount so you’re saving each month. We’d struggled to save before but over the last year have saved nearly $10k by changing nothing except using this app to keep us on track with our spending. And the best thing is, there’s no guilt about spending the money you have each day - it’ll be replenished tomorrow. It has helped us to have honest communication without the anxiety of possibly running out of money at the end of the month. Get the app. It’s well worth the money to sync it with another phone and the app has worked flawlessly for us.
