CoreBudget
A monthly budget planner that starts where your money does — with your paychecks.
// what it does
Budgeting that starts with the paycheck
Most budget apps start with categories and hope your income fits. CoreBudget starts the other way round: you enter what you actually get paid and when, and everything else is planned against that.
Bills go on a calendar with their due dates, so you can see which paycheck each one lands on before it surprises you. Spending gets logged by category as it happens, and the running balance tells you what's genuinely left — not what's left before the bills you'd forgotten.
It's in active development. If you want to hear when it's ready, get on the update list.

What we're building
Paycheck-first planning
Set your income and pay dates, then plan the month around them.
Bills on a calendar
Due dates laid out visually so nothing arrives unannounced.
Category spending
Log transactions as they happen and see where the month went.
Running balance
Always know what's actually left after upcoming bills.
Deposit ledger
A clear record of money in, separate from money out.
Private by default
The same local-first approach as every other BrosCo app.
IN DEVELOPMENT CoreBudget is a budgeting tool, not financial advice.
