About Simple Self Budget
Simple Self Budget is a calm, native budget tracker for people who just want to know where their month stands. No bank logins, no ads, no judgment. Set a monthly budget for each category, log expenses in seconds, and see what's left at a glance. The numbers state the facts. Nothing nags and nothing throws confetti. It stays honest and out of your way. FREE, FOREVER • A monthly budget per category, with a clear spent, remaining, and percentage view • Over budget is shown plainly: a red number and an icon, never shame or alarm • Log an expense in seconds with description autocomplete and the right keyboard • Tap a past expense while typing to reuse its amount and category, and pick in Settings what gets filled • Log hands-free with Siri, Shortcuts, and the Action Button: "Log $12 for lunch in Food" • Recurring subscriptions and bills added automatically each month, on the same day, even if you skip opening the app • Schedule a payment ahead, so next month's rent logged now counts toward next month's budget • This month's category breakdown, plus your recent months of history • CSV import and export, whenever you want GO FURTHER WITH PRO: ONE PURCHASE, YOURS FOR GOOD • Spending analysis in plain words: a recap of any period, an unusually large charge, a subscription you never marked.
