Description
Weekly is a beautiful budget app based on a week. Weekly is the most effective way to plan a budget, stop overspending and save for your money goals.
Weekly is both a budget planner and spending tracker. Weekly starts with a simple guided budget setup where you put in all your recurring bills and income. Next, you add in your savings goals. Then based on those budget items, Weekly calculates for you your weekly spending limit.
Once your budget is set, our one-of-a-kind spending tracker monitors your day-to-day spending by downloading your transactions from your bank (or you can add them manually). You can then quickly and easily organize your purchases into categories. We will show you how much you are spending on things like “Gas” and “Groceries” or any other category you would like to track. As the weeks go by you can see your average spending by category and challenge yourself to keep your “Safe-to-Spend” balance “in the green”.
Weekly is also a great bill organizer. You will see your upcoming bills and whether they have been paid. Weekly will tell you the number of days left until the next bill is due and notify you when bills are due.
Connect your banks and credit cards to see all your account balances in one place and stay on top of your personal finances and your budget.
Tracking money with Weekly is fun. Use emojis to represent your different recurring bills and safe-to-spend categories. Weekly’s one tap review icons let you quickly confirm your transactions and keep on track with your budget.
Weekly is perfect for household & personal budgets. You can also share Weekly to stay on track with your budget with a spouse or partner.

Ratings and Reviews
A Really Great Budgeting App
I’ve tried several different budgeting apps and I’ve found that they’re either (1) hands off and require the user to manually track individual expenses or (2) so automated that the whole process tends to be a bit more complicated than it needs to be. Weekly is perfect in that it automatically pulls in transactions (w/ Plaid integration) - keeping the experience relatively hands off - but doesn’t overcomplicate the whole thing. The user experience and interface is super clean and easy to follow. Keeping everything within a ‘week-window’ also makes it more manageable to track expenses and understand how much is ‘left’ to spend based on income. A great app that I would definitely recommend.
Just for some feedback points to make the app even better: wish there was a bit of a higher frequency rate at which Plaid pulls in transactions (may not be a Weekly app thing, but more Plaid-related). Also wish there was a way to re-review prior week transactions to reclassify if needed. Lastly, more of a nice to have - would be kind of cool to have a daily-view next to the weekly total. Just to help further ground the user on understanding what their daily budget is to help make better sense of spend limits.
Amazing app and will continue to subscribe after weekly trial!
Developer Response ,
Thank you so much for your positive review! I’m so happy to hear Weekly is providing a structure that works so well for you!
I’m happy to say that we are working on an option to improve syncing consistency as well as support for editing transactions in prior weeks. Look for future updates around those two! The daily breakdown idea is an interesting one. We’ll keep a bit of that suggestion as well.
Thanks again and feel free to reach out if you need anything to support@weeklybudgeting.com
Finally a Simple Weekly Budgeting App
I have tried many budgeting apps from super detailed to basic information. My main challenge has always been I don’t live on a monthly budget. I live weekly even though I do get paid once a month. At the end of the month I was usually low on cash. Also tracking my spending was difficult with all the transactions etc. I even resorted to a weekly cash envelope system. This app is super simple. It covers recurring bills and then the rest is your free to spend cash. So for example gas, most budget apps would put that as a recurring so I would put $209 for the month. But then one week I would spend $65 and then the next week I would spend $40 due to gas price fluctuations. I could never really see if I had surplus or went over until the end of the month. Here the transaction comes up and it takes it from free to spend. If your under it only takes that exact amount from free to spend. So guess what I can see the extra $5 for a latte! Hope all of this makes sense. It’s definitely worth it for me to live with a weekly allowance.
Love the app but…
This is hands down my favorite budget app but I noticed since 2023 my bank transactions are no longer syncing 2-3x a day and only syncing after 6pm it it’s not pulling in all posted transactions for that day- some posted transaction from the same bank account will update the following day. I bank with Capital One (big bank) and One United ( smaller bank) and both institutions use to sync more frequently. One United generally posts their transactions automatically and Weekly used to pick up those items immediately. CapitalOne used to sync 2-3x a day & now I’m lucky if it syncs once a day after 6pm. I wish there was a way to set a time for auto sync daily. I certainly would chose a 9:30am sync after most banks are finished running their system updates for the morning around 9am for transactions to post.
Also, I wish the funds feature was more flexible where you have the option to not set a contribution time period. As someone on an irregular income, I’d like to be able to set up a fund without this parameter so at the end of the month I can just flow money into a fund vs rolling it over to the next week versus having to go through the annoying manual process of updating/deleting transactions so that my funds amount matches my savings accounts. Or have the option of having the EOM balance auto transferred to the fund account as your contribution amount.
Developer Response ,
Hey Tynkrbelz86, thank you for this in-depth feedback. As far syncing frequency, we haven't changed anything on our end as far as that goes in 2023. We have found that most clients banks update at least daily but many are more frequently. We are somewhat at the mercy of Plaid and their negotiations with the different banking providers as far the frequency. That being said we are working on a feature that would allow our paid users that want increased frequency to be able to force a sync with a bank. If you would like an update on the launch of that feature, please email support@weeklybudgeting.com and we will keep you updated.
Thanks for the feedback on the funds. I might be confused, but if I understand correctly I think what you are asking for currently exists because we do allow you to transfer positive Safe-to-Spend balances to a fund. To see this functionality, make sure you have an updated version then tap the input under “What to do with your ending Safe-to-Spend?” on your end of week screen and you will see the option there. But if I am not understanding correctly please reach out again to support@weeklybudgeting.com so we can understand better.
Thanks for being a Weekly user and for the feedback!
