Weekly Budget

This app allows you to set up a weekly spending budget and helps you track your spending through the week. It syncs to the cloud so your data is always backed up, and accessible from multiple devices!

The focus here is simplicity, you don't need a bunch of bells and whistles and charts, you just need a simple app that will tell you how much you've spent, and how much you have left to spend.

This app was created with the goal of being very easy to use. You can add expenses quickly and the first page of the app shows you how much money you have left to spend this week. You don't even have to have an Internet connection to add expenses or view your past expenses, the app will simply sync up once you are connected again.

The most common complaint of the app is that it can't do recurring revenue or expenses. This is a feature, not a bug. Since those values are typically fixed (by nature of being recurring), you should be able to exclude them from the app. Simply do a quick calculation of how much you have left over after fixed expenses and use that amount in this app!

Not sure what that number should be? The app will work it out with you: answer as many of the prompts as you know — pay, rent, insurance, subscriptions — and it does the arithmetic.

One budget can be shared with as many devices as you like. There is an iPhone app too, listed as Weekly Spend, and the web app opens in any browser at https://budget.andrewovens.com. All three work on the same budget, so a household running a mix of phones is not a problem.
