An easy way to track your money.
Stop spending your life away. Pelican is the ultimate reality check for your finances, turning budgeting from a boring spreadsheet into an interactive daily habit.
Most money apps just show you charts; Pelican shows you TIME. By automatically converting your transactions into the actual hours of work they cost you, Pelican helps you cure impulse spending. Ask yourself: is that $25 takeout dinner really worth an hour of your life?
Built for speed, privacy, and accountability, Pelican is the anti-spreadsheet budget tracker.
FEATURES THAT PUT YOU IN CONTROL:
TIME IS MONEY ENGINE
Input your hourly wage and watch Pelican instantly translate your purchases into time. It’s the ultimate psychological hack to stop overspending.
INSTANT VOICE LOGGING
No typing required. Just tap the mic widget on your lock screen and say, "I spent $5 on coffee." Pelican's Smart Brain categorizes it, does the math, and updates your budget instantly.
APPLE WALLET SYNC
We don't ask for your bank login. Say goodbye to broken banking connections and privacy concerns. Pelican syncs seamlessly with Apple Wallet to capture your tap-to-pay spending silently in the background.
NEW! WEEKLY SHOWDOWNS
Budgeting is now a multiplayer game. Challenge a friend to a weekly budget Showdown. Whoever stays furthest under budget wins. The loser buys the winner a coffee (or a burrito).
THE RULE OF 4
Months are messy. Pelican divides every month into exactly 4 weeks. This math hack automatically builds a "hidden" savings cushion every single quarter without you lifting a finger.
SMART BILL TRACKER
Separate your fixed bills from your fun money. Pelican tracks your recurring subscriptions and alerts you before they hit, so you always know your true "Safe-to-Spend" number.
Pelican is ad-free and respects your data. Try it free for 7 days and see how much of your time you can buy back!

BEST Budgeting App!!
Wendy Aylee
As a student saving up for college this has been the best app to manage my expenses. It keeps me accountable of my coffee runs while also automatically keeps track of my monthly income. You can also add specific goals which adds up to a lot personally for my college tuition. I LOVE Pelican Budgeting!!!
