Daily Roast, real brand logos, AI receipt capture, savings goals with finish-line rewards. Your money's story — told back to you with side-eye.
BudgetBot is a personal budgeting app for iPhone built around real life — real receipts, real brands, and a budget that knows what you actually bought.
What it does:
• Receipt capture — point the camera at a receipt and the AI pulls out merchant, amount, date and line items. PDFs, the share sheet and the photo library all work.
• Real brand logos — every subscription and merchant row shows the brand's real icon, not a generic glyph. Over 100 brands across streaming, telecom, grocery, fast food, retail, transport and more.
• Savings goals with finish-line rewards — set a goal (Japan trip, house deposit, wedding fund) and lock in your celebration up front. Champagne, dinner, flowers, spa day, weekend away — your call.
• Daily Roast — a daily one-card review of your spending and saving that doesn't pull punches. Sometimes praise, mostly side-eye.
• Hindsight ratings — score past purchases 1–5 in a swipe game so analytics surface what was actually worth it.
• Hall of Shame — your worst purchases, ranked and tagged. With apology emoji.
• Smart insights — needs vs wants, subscription pile-up alerts, monthly spend vs budget, counterfactual "what could've been" comparisons.
Privacy:
• No analytics. No tracking. No third-party SDKs. No ads.
• Your data lives on your device and, if you turn iCloud sync on, in your own iCloud. We run no servers.
• AI features use your own Anthropic API key — we never see your data.
• Sign in with Apple is the primary auth.
BudgetBot isn't your bank. It's a tool for what you actually buy, why you bought it, and whether you'd do it again.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
New: Quick add. No receipt? Type or say it — “Haircut €30”, “2 coffees €13” — and BudgetBot adds it. Multiple items split into individual, editable lines.
New: Dictation your way. On-device by default (free, private, offline). Settings → Dictation lets you switch to OpenAI Whisper or Google Gemini with your own key, pick a language, and more.
Better: the “ready to review” banner on Capture now opens the reviewer directly — no detour through Notifications.
