Briven is a manual budgeting app for people who want structure, not surveillance. There's no bank connection. No CSV or OFX import. No account to sign up for. You enter your income, subscriptions, and expenses yourself — and Briven turns that into a clear, honest picture of where your money goes every month. WHY MANUAL? Every "smart" finance app promises to auto-categorize your spending by reading your bank transactions. That convenience comes at a cost: your bank credentials and full transaction history now live on someone else's server. Briven skips that trade entirely. Nothing you enter ever leaves your device unless you choose to sync it — and even then, it only goes to your own private iCloud, never to us. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Track multiple income sources — a full-time job, freelance work, anything else — each with its own schedule (weekly, monthly, yearly, or irregular) • Log every subscription with its billing date; Briven detects price increases automatically and alerts you the moment they happen • Record expenses in seconds, organized into categories and subcategories (or your own custom ones) • Tag expenses by payment method — cash, or any card you add • See your month at a glance: income vs. spending, category breakdowns, and a calendar you can tap or drag to inspect any day or range • Set a monthly budget per category and watch a simple progress bar warn you before you go over PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no login, no bank linking — ever • Your data lives on your device • Free iCloud sync keeps your own devices in sync with each other — never shared with anyone else • Optional Face ID / Touch ID app lock, processed entirely on-device FREE TO USE Unlimited expense logging, income tracking, subscription tracking (up to 3), categories, payment methods, iCloud sync, and monthly reports — all free, no ads. BRIVEN LIFETIME (OPTIONAL) A single one-time purchase — not a subscription, ever — unlocks: • Unlimited savings goals, with progress tracked automatically from your monthly surplus • Unlimited subscription tracking (free plan includes up to 3) • Week and year views in Reports, plus a 12-month spending trend chart • A full category-by-category comparison against the previous period Briven doesn't guess what you spent money on from a bank feed. You tell it — and that's exactly the point.

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Briven Lifetime now includes: • Week and year views in Reports, not just Month • A 12-month spending trend chart • A full category-by-category comparison against the previous period New for everyone, free: • A budget pace projection that estimates where you'll land by month's end • See which day of the week you tend to spend the most • Category budgets now show progress for subcategories, too Also includes several accuracy and dark-mode fixes throughout Reports.
