How Simplify Budget works
Enter your recurring expenses once. The app automatically carries these over every month so you never have to log a bill twice.
Use the calendar grid to quickly log the “irregular” expenses like groceries or dining out as it happens.
The app combines your automated bills and logged expenses to show your real-time “Remaining” balance for the month.
At month-end, log your asset and debt balances. Seeing your total wealth grow is the ultimate motivation to keep going.
