In short

Simple and Easy Budgeting combines a zero-based monthly budget with a shared grocery list organized by store. It is aimed at households who want one place to plan spending and shop together, with lists that sync across iPhone, iPad and Mac. One standout feature is that a finished shopping trip can be logged straight into the budget.

About

Free and Simple Budgeting puts your monthly budget and your grocery list in one place, and keeps your whole household on the same page.

GIVE EVERY DOLLAR A JOB • Zero-based budgeting: plan your income, then give every dollar a category until you reach zero • See Planned, Spent and Remaining for every category at a glance • Your plan carries forward to next month automatically, so you only change what's different • Savings funds roll unspent money into next month, perfect for vacations, car repairs and emergencies • Split a purchase across categories, like a store run that's part groceries and part clothes • Export any year to a spreadsheet for taxes or bookkeeping

SHOP BY STORE • Add the stores you shop at and give each one its own color • Every store gets its own section, so your list is organized before you walk in • Check items off as you shop and watch your cart total • See how much grocery budget is left, before you reach the register • Tap Finish Trip to log what you spent straight into your budget

ONE HOUSEHOLD • Invite your spouse or family with a single link • Everyone sees the same list and budget, updated in seconds • Check something off at the store and it's checked off at home too

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS • No new account or password: sign in with the Apple ID you already use • Your budget and list are stored in your own iCloud, not on our servers • Works on iPhone, iPad and Mac, always in sync

Free and Simple Budgeting is free, supported by a small banner ad (no ads on Mac).
