The mobile app

The Budget Bandit mobile app is built for quick moves on the go — check a balance, categorize a charge, assign a few dollars — and stays in sync with the web app. It runs on iOS and Android. To install it, see Install the mobile app.

Four tabs

The app opens to a bottom tab bar with four destinations:

​

Settings is a gear, not a tab

Settings lives behind a gear in each screen’s header rather than taking a tab slot. Tap the gear to open Settings, where you’ll find your connection status, the biometric lock toggle, and other preferences.

​

What’s the same as the web

The mobile app reads and writes the same budget as the web app:

• Assign money and watch Ready to Assign update.
• Add, edit, and categorize transactions.
• See credit-card balances and what’s safe to pay.
• Open accounts and their registers.

Changes you make on your phone show up on the web, and the other way around, once both have synced.

​

What’s focused for mobile

The phone app is a tuned subset, not the full web surface. The Reports tab carries a focused set — Net Worth, Spending, and Cash Flow — rather than all eleven web reports. For the complete report library, deeper filtering, and bulk tools, use the web app. See all reports.

​

Built for on-the-go

Three things make the app feel right on a phone:

• Face ID and app lock keep your numbers private.
• Quick-add and haptics make entry fast and tactile.
• Offline-first keeps everything working without a signal.
