Snap a photo of your receipt and get instant budget and spending insights, no bank login required.
Built and tested by real students and student founders, Budgie stays simple because student life leaves no time for anything else. Snap a receipt and it's logged instantly, no easier spreadsheet or app to see where your money goes.
No bank connection means no room for error. Just scan your receipts and the app handles the rest, tested by students who need their numbers exactly right.
However you spend, Budgie has a simple way to track it.
Take a photo of any receipt and Budgie logs the purchase and category for you in seconds.
Upload a bank or card statement and Budgie pulls in past transactions without needing an ongoing connection.
Splitting a bill with roommates or friends? Divide any transaction and only track your share.
Add cash purchases or anything you paid for another way in a few taps, no receipt required.
Set your own categories and limits so your budget matches how you spend, not a generic template.
