Lavie: Budget to Payday
What's left to spend by payday
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Know what you can spend until payday. Now with AI automatic logging in Lavie Plus and ledgers you can personalize with colors and icons.
Am I okay until payday?
Lavie answers with one number: Free to spend until payday. It starts from your take-home pay and takes away what you've spent so far, the bills still due before payday and what your goals set aside first. What's left is yours to spend.
ONE NUMBER, NOT A SPREADSHEET
• Open Lavie, see what's free, close it.
• Built around your paydays, not calendar months.
• Bills come off before you see the number, so rent day never catches you out.
• Goals set aside a share on every payday, worked out from the target and the date.
• "Can I afford it?" checks a purchase against what's free, without saving anything.
LOGGING WITHOUT THE CHORE
• Quick add: tap +, type the amount and a name. Lavie picks the category from what that name has been before.
• AI automatic logging with Shortcuts (Lavie Plus): after you agree, the content passed by your automations is sent to DeepSeek to identify transactions. Requires an internet connection and one-time setup.
• Import bank and card records: PDF, CSV, Excel, and the zip files Alipay and WeChat Pay email. An AI service finds the transactions; duplicates are skipped on your iPhone.
• Check your balance now and then, and Lavie shows what wasn't logged, so you don't have to type every coffee.
SEE WHERE IT GOES
• Insights compare this cycle with the same stretch of the last one, category by category.
• A month card on the last day of each month: what came in, what went out, what you kept.
• Net worth: your cash plus your holdings, month by month.
TOGETHER, IF YOU LIKE
• Shared ledgers through iCloud for a household, a couple or a trip. Invite only.
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
• No account, no bank login, no ads, no analytics.
• Your records stay on your device, or in your own iCloud if you turn on sync.
• Only the AI features send anything out, only what they need, and only after you agree.
ALSO
• Lock Screen and Control Center quick add, Siri and the Action button.
• A reminder the evening before each bill, and a note on payday morning.
• Many currencies, with daily exchange rates.
• In English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, Español, Français, Deutsch and Português (Brasil).
