Budget Companion

Track income, expenses, and bills with forecasting and cloud sync.

Budget Companion is a calm, guided way to see where your money really goes. It replaces messy spreadsheets with a focused dashboard that tracks income, bills, and expenses across monthly, weekly, yearly, and one-off frequencies. Add your current balance, plug in recurring costs, and the forecast updates automatically — a trend chart of your projected balance, a daily balance calendar so upcoming bills and paydays never catch you out, and a month-by-month ledger that keeps the details honest. A health check tells you at a glance whether you are in surplus, tight, or running a deficit. Sign in with just your email and your numbers sync securely to the cloud, so your budget follows you across devices. Whether you are building a safety buffer or just trying to stop overspending, this tool turns budgeting into a clear, repeatable ritual.

Power notes

Things to know before you dive in

  • Everything syncs securely to your account, so your budget follows you across devices.
  • The forecast recalculates the moment you add or edit a payment — no recalc button.
  • Weekly amounts are placed on real calendar days, not monthly estimates, so the daily balance stays honest.

Questions

Frequently asked about Budget Companion

Is Budget Companion free?

Yes. Sign in with your email (magic link, no password) and use every feature free. An optional Cloudmaking Pro subscription removes ads and supports development.

Does it connect to my bank account?

No, and that's deliberate. You enter income and expenses manually, so there are no bank credentials to share and nothing to link. Your numbers live in your own account, nowhere else.

I used the old Budget Calculator — where is my data?

Sign in on this device and your old locally-saved budget imports automatically into your cloud budget the first time it loads. Incomes, bills, yearly renewals, weekly spending, and one-off payments all carry over.

How far ahead does the forecast go?

Three, six, or twelve months. You get a balance trend chart, a day-by-day calendar view, and a monthly ledger with starting balance, money in, money out, and ending balance.
