My Budget Book
My Budget Book helps you to keep track of your expenses and income, and manage your money more effectively. Use the individual and recurring transactions feature to get an idea of your expenses over the next couple of months and see how much money you have available to spend. The app also gives you a graphical overview of the information, making it easier to plan (larger) purchases over the upcoming months. The budget mode allows you to set various goals and for certain periods of time. For example, you can use the feature to create a monthly limit for refueling or a weekly limit for food. You can also define limits for accounts such as credit cards or other types of payment. Furthermore, the app can help you determine whether recurring budgets should be transferred to the next period.
