I want an app that existed, and was killed before it's time by Intuit. Level Money
You put in (and it learned over time) your expenses, and it gave you a single number which was how much you could spend per day. It adjusted as you went, so if you under/overspent it adjusted.
It wasn't perfect, but was the last time I had a firm handle on my finances.
Fuck you Intuit, burn in every hell imagine able for your myriad of sins including this minor one comparatively.
Have you tried Cashew? I've tried tons of apps and it's easily the best
No, but I just downloaded it! Thanks for the rec!
I work in IT and we get at least a dozen broken QuickBooks tickets a week. I fucking hate intuit and their products
Have you looked at your banks budgeting software? One of the key features mine has is it learns how transactions are categorized, so future ones will be categorized the same way even if the amount changes. While it’s far from perfect, it is a huge factor in making useful.
I used to try various money management tools but this made a huge convenience difference
This kinda locks you into one bank which is not ideal
I use CapitalOne, they have some things but nothing exactly right.
I have also tried every budgeting software under the sun, and Level was the only one that worked for me sadly. I've thought about using vibe coding (not a mobile dev) to makey own android app to do something similar but also super lazy lol.
Ever tried the old over engineered Excel doc trick?
Sucks because you have to do manual data entry but you'll get whatever level of granular control your heart desires.
I'm sure there's ways to design something similar to the auto leveling budget effect you liked, but it's beyond my skills.
