What about your bank's app?
"A lot of mobile banking apps these days have their own built-in budgeting tools and features. These include things like spending categorisation, upcoming bill predictions and reminders.
Some bank accounts also let you open a bunch of other sub accounts (or buckets) which you can use for different spending purposes and goals."

5. Goodbudget
The Goodbudget app is based on the envelope budgeting strategy, where you put different amounts of money into envelopes based on what you'll spend it on (e.g. bills, rent and dining).
The money in each of these 'digital' envelopes is free to be spent on their allocated purpose, then once the money has run out you need to wait until you're paid again to top up all your envelopes.
You don't always need an app to create a budget that works. Take a look at a few different budgeting strategies that don't require a special app.
