The person behind Be Budget Today

Be Budget Today started out of a specific frustration: keeping track of my own expenses in a spreadsheet that I’d abandon every two months. I tried several apps, and they all had the same flaws. They asked for access to my bank account, filled the screen with charts I didn’t use, or turned a coffee purchase into a six-field form.

So I built it for myself. A budget you can understand at a glance, an expense recorded in two taps, and no decisions that require financial know-how. I still use it every day, and that shapes everything I add: if it doesn’t work for me while I’m waiting in line at the grocery store, it doesn’t make the cut.

I develop and maintain it all by myself. No one’s hiding that: it means there’s no support department, but it also means that the person reading your email is the one writing the code, and that a good suggestion you make could be in the app the following week.

When it comes to privacy, our stance is simple and won’t change: Be Budget Today never connects to your bank account. There are no credentials to share and no third-party aggregators reading your transactions. You enter what you want to track, and your data remains yours alone.
