The Smart Budget

The Smart Budget does the work for you. Set it up once and your spending logs itself — captured, cleaned up, categorized, and checked for anything odd. You open the app to review, not to type. Private, built on Apple Intelligence — and free to start.

Smart Budget reads the merchant, amount, currency, and date — on your iPhone or in Apple's Private Cloud Compute — cleans up the messy bank text, picks the right category, and quietly flags anything unusual. No bank login. No third party, ever. Prefer to add one by hand? Log it in seconds, snap a receipt, or say it out loud.

Your data stays yours. No accounts to create. No bank-linking required. No data sold or shared. iCloud sync is optional and runs through your own Apple ID — your transactions never reach us.

— PRIVACY —
The Smart Budget runs on Apple Intelligence — on your iPhone or in Apple's Private Cloud Compute, Apple's own hardened servers. Nothing is stored, and no third party is ever involved. No accounts to sign up for. Anonymous app analytics help us improve — never your transactions, amounts or merchants — and you can turn them off in Settings → Privacy.
