"Yay, budgets!" Said nobody, ever.

Ugh, Budgets.

Ugh, Budgets is an iOS app that helps you brainstorm the budget for any upcoming project or life event, from small to large, using the five minutes you actually have β€” on the couch, in a waiting room, or on the toilet.

This app helps you get things started. It's a "let me figure out the numbers" app, not a monthly expense tracker that yells at you for buying coffee.

What is Ugh, Budgets for?

Use it to get a grip on anything from a personal project to a corporate scope of work. From wedding plans to marketing plans, from vacations to renovations, or to simply justify expensive hobbies. Sketch out a budget from scratch or from a template, fiddle until it seems right, and enjoy significantly reduced project anxiety. And if you like spreadsheets 🧐, export it to a spreadsheet with math magic baked in!

What Ugh, Budgets IS

A quick project budget brainstorming tool.

  • Helps you plan when inspiration (or panic) strikes.
  • Offers budget templates or a fresh slate.
  • Eases pain with a human-friendly workflow.
What Ugh, Budgets is NOT

A financial advisor, accountant, or life coach.

  • Γ—No over-complicated bloat-ware features.
  • Γ—No login, no saved data on our servers.
  • Γ—No connecting to your bank or credit card. Gross.

Ugh, Budgets can help you:

Throw a party

Does the amount everybody's chipping in get us filet mignon, or Filet-o-Fish?

πŸ”¨
Renovate the house

Are we sure we need a home theater, even though the answer is always yes?

πŸ’
Plan a wedding

Let's figure out where the money goes before sampling that chocolate fountain.

Quote a project

I should do a quick gut-check on that scope before it starts creeping.

Balance a holiday

Good news, we upgraded the airplane seats! Bad news, the hotel is now a hostel.

🎬
Make a film

Whether you're Scorsese, Michael Bay or Tommy Wiseau, don't let the money tear you apart!

Draft it. Tune it. Done.

(Now go wash your hands.)
