CalBudget - The calendar-first budgeting app

by•
Most budgeting apps tell you where your money went. CalBudget helps you see where it's going. Add your bills, paychecks, subscriptions, debt payments, and planned spending to a calendar, then watch your projected balance update day by day. Spot low-balance days before they happen, adjust your plans with confidence, and stay in control. No bank login required. Start free on web or iPhone.

Hey everyone 👋 I'm Chris, the creator of CalBudget. This project started because every budgeting app I tried had the same problem—they were great at showing me what had already happened, but terrible at answering one simple question: **"Will I actually have enough money next Thursday?"** That's where most financial stress comes from. Not categories. Not charts. Timing. So I built CalBudget around a calendar instead. Instead of connecting a bank and waiting for transactions to post, you start with today's balance, add your upcoming bills and paychecks, and immediately see your projected balance for every future day. Some things I intentionally designed differently: • No required bank login • Manual-first and private • Built around cash flow timing • Future forecasting instead of transaction history • Works great for irregular income and paycheck-to-paycheck planning I'd genuinely love feedback. What would make this something you'd actually use?
