Buddy: Money & Budget Planner
Spending Tracker & Manager
Money has a habit of trickling through your fingers. One moment, it’s payday and it’s drinks on you – the next, you’re holding your breath as you tap your contactless card on the reader.
Buddy helps you take control by making budgeting (relatively) painless. As you record every expense, a glanceable breakdown shows your day’s spending. Set a monthly or weekly budget and you’ll get a gentle warning when you’re getting close to the limit.
Your budget will be calculated according to your salary, and your unavoidable outgoings, such as rent and electricity. Add in how much you typically spend on leisure expenses (eating out and gym membership, for example) and Buddy does all the maths.
You can manage recurring transactions such as bills and subscriptions through Buddy and a split function helps take the headache out of sharing expenses with housemates.
With a cheerful interface that won’t send you into an anxiety spiral, you can set your course and Buddy will look after the rest.
