Pudget

Most budgeting apps ask for too much. Your bank login. A subscription. An hour of setup before they tell you anything useful. Pudget asks for about ninety seconds. Pick a few things you spend money on. Give each one a monthly number. That's your budget. From then on, logging a purchase takes three taps — tap add, tap the category, type the amount. No forms. No receipts to photograph. No categories to reconcile on a Sunday evening. ONE NUMBER, EVERY DAY The home screen shows what's left this month across everything, in a big ring you can read at a glance. It shifts from green to amber to coral as you get close to your limit, so most days you don't need to read anything at all. Add the Home Screen or Lock Screen widget and you won't even open the app. BUILT TO BE KIND Pudget never scolds you. Go over budget and it says so plainly, then moves on — "Past the plan for July, fresh start soon." There are no red warning banners, no guilt, no shame-based nudges. Overspending is information, not a moral failing. A gentle streak counts the days you've logged something. Miss a day and a streak freeze quietly covers it. Miss a few and it just starts again. WHAT'S INSIDE Three-tap expense logging with a big, friendly number pad Playful progress rings for every category Payday tracking — once a month, twice a month, fortnightly or weekly Bills with due dates, and a calendar you tap to set them Month-end recap that leads with what went well Milestones and a forgiving streak Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets Siri and Shortcuts: "Log an expense in Pudget" Light and dark, and it's all SF Rounded — nothing looks like a spreadsheet FREE, AND FAIR ABOUT IT Pudget is free to use properly, not free as a trial. Logging expenses is unlimited forever, along with your streak, payday tracking, the calendar and the widgets. The free version keeps four categories and one bill. Pudget Pro is a ONE-TIME $7.99 purchase — not a subscription — and adds: Unlimited categories and bills Budget starting points like 50/30/20, matched to your income Every colour theme Optional iCloud sync across your devices Everything we add to the app later No ads, ever. We're not going to sell your attention to a credit card company. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Pudget has no accounts and no sign-in. Your budget lives on your iPhone. There are no analytics, no tracking, no advertising identifiers, and no third-party code of any kind in this app. We don't run a server, so we couldn't collect your data even if we wanted to. If you turn on iCloud sync it goes to your own private iCloud — we can't read it. A NOTE ON THE BUDGETING TEMPLATES Pudget's starting points are well-known budgeting frameworks — 50/30/20 and similar rules of thumb — worked out against the income you enter. They are not financial advice, and Pudget is not a financial advisor. You know your life better than any percentage does.
