BudgetBug

BudgetBug — everything Mint was, and more. Privacy-first. Free to start. If you left Mint and got burned by the "alternatives," BudgetBug is the budgeting app you've been looking for: full-featured and privacy-first, with no ads, no tracking, and no selling your data — and a real free tier to start.

See what you actually spent — in real time Pay with credit cards for the rewards? BudgetBug shows what you've spent this month right now, not when the statement closes — on the free tier, with one connected bank.
