Budget App: v1.0.0 Release Devlog

Release Date: December 2025

Platforms: Windows & Linux

We’re excited to announce the first official release of Budget App (v1.0.0), a desktop-based, neurodivergent-friendly budgeting tool designed to help you manage multiple income sources, expenses, and financial goals without overwhelm.

What This Budget App Does

Budget App makes personal finance simple, flexible, and accessible for everyone, especially neurodivergent users. With it, you can:

• Track different types of income: bank accounts, cash, prepaid/gift cards, food stamps, and more, each with custom frequencies and usage restrictions.

• Manage expenses: add one-time or recurring expenses, assign due dates, and link them to specific income sources.

• Set financial goals: create savings goals, debt payoff plans, or rainy day funds, allocating only the allowed income sources.

• Plan automatically: Budget App calculates your available funds after expenses and suggests contributions to your goals.

Key Features in v1.0.0

• Cross-Platform Support: Works on Windows and Linux, fully offline for privacy and security.

• Visual Clarity: Minimalist design with color-coded income/expense types and intuitive icons.

• Income Assignment: Assign specific income sources to pay for expenses or contribute to goals.

• Auto-Calculation: Instantly see how your income covers bills and goals, with “what-if” scenario simulations.

• Neurodivergent-Friendly: Reminders, checklists, high-contrast mode, and accessible navigation for screen readers.

• Custom Categories & Labels: Fully customizable income, expense, and goal categories with optional notes per item.

Why We Built the Budget App

Managing money can be stressful, especially with multiple income sources or benefits that have usage restrictions. Budget App helps reduce anxiety by providing clarity, structure, and control over your finances without overwhelming you.

Future Plans

Upcoming updates will include:

• Graphical reports and analytics for better financial insight.

• Enhanced forecasting and “what-if” simulations.

• Optional gamification and motivational features to make saving more engaging.
