From an empty sheet to a list you can read
Three screens: saving an expense, coming back to one you already saved, and the list they all land in.
Two taps to saved
Plus, amount, save. The account and today's date are already filled in, and a suggested category is one tap away.
Every action on a long-press
Edit, convert to a transfer or refund, attach a debt or delete — whichever apply to that row. A plain tap only opens the row to read, so nothing changes by accident.
The list stays scannable
Rows group under the month, each one carrying its category icon, its tags and the account it came from.
- Type the amount
- Then tap save
- Long-press for every action
- Grouped by month
- Amounts aligned right

Beyond the notebook
A notebook or spreadsheet means retyping everything. Budgie fills in what it can.

What you get
Pre-filled for fast entry
Fast entry: account and date are pre-filled, and a suggested category is one tap away
Transfers never miscounted
Three first-class transaction types: expense, income, transfer — never confused, never miscounted
One entry, several categories
Split one entry across several categories right in the quick-entry form
Everything included
- Long-press any row for actions such as edit, delete, convert to transfer or refund, and attach a debt
- Tapping a transaction opens a read-only detail view — editing is a deliberate second step
- Six monthly bars on that view show what you usually spend at the same place, in the same category
The details
For when you want to know exactly how it behaves.
Why entry friction kills expense trackers
An expense tracker lives or dies by entry friction. Budgie's quick-entry sheet starts with your account and the current date, and suggests a category you can accept with one tap.
Every entry is amount + account + category + tags + comment + date. Split an entry across categories right in the quick-entry form. Long-press any transaction in the list for a menu to edit, delete, convert to a transfer, or link income back to a refunded expense without leaving the screen.
Read first, edit on purpose
Opening a transaction no longer drops you into a form. You get a read-only Transaction Info view — amount, account, category, tags, comment, and the details the bank sent — with editing behind an explicit button. Looking something up stops being a chance to change it by accident.
That view also answers the question a single number never can: is this normal? Six monthly bars show what you spent on the same thing — same account, same category, same merchant title — over the six months leading up to this transaction, with the monthly totals, a total, and an average. It appears only when there is more than one match, so one-off purchases stay uncluttered.
Questions
How fast is the quick-entry form?
Open the sheet, type the amount, tap save. The form starts with your account and today's date, and suggests a category you can accept with one tap.
Can I edit a transaction after saving?
Yes. Tapping a row opens its read-only detail view with an Edit button, and long-pressing it in the list gives you a menu with Edit, Delete, Convert to Transfer, Convert to Refund and more, depending on the row. Merged or refunded transactions offer fewer actions, such as Revert.
What do the monthly bars on a transaction mean?
They are your own spending on comparable transactions — the same account, the same category, and the same merchant title — across the six months leading up to the one you are looking at, with a total and an average underneath.
Does Budgie distinguish transfers from expenses?
Yes. Transfer is a first-class transaction type with explicit source and destination accounts; it never inflates your spending stats.
What about recurring purchases?
Budgie auto-detects recurring patterns and surfaces them on a dedicated calendar tab. See the Recurring Payments Calendar feature for details.
