You only benefit from a budgeting app if you use it. We believe you not only need a budgeting app, but you need one that is a breeze to use and easy to understand. We created ideely to be the most elegant, user friendly, and useful budgeting app on the market.
Shortly after getting married my wife and I wanted to find a good budgeting app but many of them were either too complicated, not flexible enough, or too time-consuming to use. It’s no wonder why over half of American adults do not budget. To solve this, we created an app for ourselves—getting rid of the pain points helped us stay on top of our budget. As we benefitted from the app, we shared it with our friends and eventually decided to release it on a larger scale so you can not only start budgeting but enjoy it while reaching your money goals.
Features you'll love:
ENTER EXPENSES IN 4 SECONDS ON AVERAGE
With ideely you don’t have to worry about misclassification of records added directly from your bank account. We avoid connecting to your bank all together while making it quick and easy to add records yourself via voice or our speed tap entry. Enter data as you go so that you’ll never be in the dark on how much is left in your budget.
ADD RECORDS WITH VOICE COMMANDS
Unlike other apps that demand your full attention to add records, we built ideely to budget on the go with easy speech entry. For example:
- In the time it takes to place and receive your order at a coffee shop, you can tell ideely “spent $3.46 on coffee.”
- While walking to your car after a long shift of waiting tables, tell ideely "received $40 from tips.”
- Picking up a bagel on your walk to work, tell ideely “spent $3.50 on eating out.”
ADD RECORDS WITH SPEED TAP ENTRY
We recognize it's not always beneficial to use voice commands. With this in mind, we optimized the process of manually entering records to enable you to add records in as little as 3 seconds.
SIMPLE GRAPHS KEEP YOU ON BUDGET
Our trend graphs were designed to present the most information in the simplest format possible. They help you know where your money is going and where it has gone. Have you been neglecting savings? How often do you overspend on eating out? Have your tips been increasing with time? Trends helps you refine how much to budget for each category.
SEE YOUR BUDGET AT A GLANCE WITH SPEND METERS
With spend meters, easily see how much you’ve spent vs. how much you have budgeted. Seeing where your money is going helps you decide how to use it—and keep your money goals on track.
BUDGET ON A WEEKLY OR MONTHLY SCHEDULE
Whether you are salaried or have a weekly hourly income, ideely will align with your pay schedule.
STORE MULTIPLE BUDGETS IN ONE PLACE
Saving and spending focuses often vary based on the time of the year or life season you are in. We allow you to store and use multiple budget cards. Think of these as budget presets that you can choose from when tracking your finances for the current month or week
EASILY EXPORT DATA TO EXCEL
You can extract a CSV file of all your records at any time. Whether you are self-employed or file 1099, ideely is a great resource for tax season.

Best Budgeting App
I have tried many budgeting apps including the new ones that people rave about (Monarch, Copilot, Rocket, mint before it shut down, etc.). I’ve found myself spending more time fixing the “automation” in those apps than I do manually inputting with ideely. The speed you are able to input while easily being able to categorize how your money spent makes this graph the best budgeting app I’ve used. The graph is extremely helpful in allowing you to see your spending trends. This app is the perfecting budgeting app!
Simple, Customizable, & Effective
I have tried multiple budgeting apps and I have not liked them. I switched over to my own Excel spreadsheet for a few years and I never thought I would use anything else. I love my Excel budget but my husband suggested we use this app to be on the same page with our budget. I was surprised by how much I like it. I like that it is simple and customizable. Other apps I’ve used input my finances but don’t categorize them well or aren’t as customizable. With ideely, you can sign up for reminders to update your budget and input your items, which helps to know what’s going on with your bank accounts. I feel like it helps us to allocate all income coming in, which has helped us save money and hold us accountable for not going over budget. I would really recommend this budget app for anyone who is a little annoyed with all the other apps because of the simplicity and the ability to customize for your needs.
User friendly and effective!
My wife and I started using this app when we wanted to start itemizing our finances as we were attacking debt aggressively after recently being married.
It was exactly what we needed in order to know how every single dollar was spent and to know how much money we had left over to put towards our debt! This app helped us to stick to our budget and get ahead. Hats off to the creator of this app!
Ideely is great accountability!
This app is convenient for logging in all of your purchases and tracking how much you’re spending throughout the month!
So easy to use
I used to never budget and just not spend money which lead to me not really saving more strategically for things and not realizing I could have more wiggle room with spending. Now using this app I know exactly where I’m at with my money and I love that it’s so quick to use! I also like that it has a graph because I’m more of a visual learner so it helps me know where I’m at quickly.
Simple and easy to use budgeting
This app has helped me keep track of my finances with easy and simplicity! The interface is so easy to use and lets you enter purchases quickly without hassle
Most encompassing/helpful budgeting app!
I have been so thankful for this app!! I’ve used different budgeting apps in the past, but it seemed like each one had a different quality that I needed. Over time I got frustrated because I couldn’t manage my money in the way I needed to, so I just stopped tracking my budget altogether.
Ideely is amazing for being able to simply track your income, expenses, giving, and saving. With having a voice to text option, you can easily open up the app as you’re leaving the store and add in your most recent expense. You can also see a visual representation of all of those categories and compare them over the months.
My favorite aspect of the app is that there’s space to write notes on each expense! That was always my biggest struggle with banking apps- seeing “Target $13.95” and having no idea what it was for and no longer having the receipt, so just not bothering with it.
Having this note feature helps me have a birds eye view of what I’m actually spending my money on (ex. “gift for bachelorette,” “cake for party,” etc). That way I can easily look to see why I went to Aldi three separate times in a week…
Ideely is also great for being able to filter through expenses and even pull CSV reports.
This app is amazing! I honestly can’t think of another aspect of budgeting that I would need incorporated. It has everything I was looking for! 100% would recommend.
Perfect budgeting app!
This app allows for quick and easy voice inputs to keep track of my daily purchases. Sicne using it I've been able to adjust my budgeting from seeing where my money goes accruately. Now I'm saving more money than every before!
Budgeting for people who make money and forget what they need
I make money. Not a lot but enough. And I don’t worry about money but have been realizing I haven’t saved the amount I should have to put some down payments down. Finally I have an easy to use app to help me save for those big ticket items
The budgeting app I’ve been looking for!!!
Easy, customizable, and FAST. Every other budgeting app I’ve used has such a hassle and “clunk” to it. Super happy with this one.
Just little aesthetic things that I’d have comments on, but no complaints! Good stuff. Must-download on a smartphone.
