My Daily Dollar

Know what you can spend today.

Most budgeting apps hand you a pie chart and leave the actual question unanswered. My Daily Dollar answers it with one number — and asks nothing else of you.

How it works

Set it up once, in about five minutes. After that it's one number and a few seconds a day.

1

Tell it what comes in

Your income and how often you're paid. One job or several.

2

Tell it what's already spoken for

Rent, car, phone, the lot — plus whatever you want to put away each month.

3

Get your number

What today is worth, worked out fresh each morning from what's actually left.

One number that moves with you.

Spend less than it today and tomorrow's is higher. Spend more and it's lower. Every morning it resets, so a bad day stays a bad day instead of becoming a bad week — and there are no categories to maintain, no envelopes to rebalance, nothing to reconcile at the weekend.

Five seconds to log

Amount, where, done. Nothing else is required, and there's no form to fight with.

A month you can see

The calendar fills in as you go, so a good week — or a rough one — is obvious at a glance.

On your home screen

Home screen and lock screen widgets, so you can check without opening anything.

A nudge, not a nag

One optional reminder in the evening if you haven't logged. No streak to break.

Built for two people.

Share one login and both phones see the same budget. Your partner logs a coffee, and it lands on your phone. No invites, no permissions, no separate family plan to buy — and one subscription covers you both.

Month end, handled.

When a month closes you get what's actually left, and a list of your savings, goals and debts to put it into. Type an amount next to each and watch the remainder count down to zero. Went over instead? The same screen helps you work out where it comes from.

What it doesn't do

It never connects to your bank. Everything in it is what you typed in yourself, which is also why it can't get your balance wrong.

There are no ads, no analytics, and nothing tracking you across other apps. We don't sell your data, and there's a privacy policy that says so in plain language rather than in paragraphs of legal boilerplate.

And there's no guilt. No streak to break, no red banner for buying lunch. Some days you go over. You adjust, and tomorrow starts fresh.
