Masareef مصاريفA free monthly budget app
In Masareef you set a monthly budget for each category, or split your income into four shares, and the app measures what you spent against the plan, from transactions you log by hand or that arrive automatically.
What you get for free
- A monthly budget for each category, measured against what you spent in it this month.
- The income plan: your monthly income split into essentials, consumer, fun and savings, starting at 50, 20, 10 and 20 percent. You change the percentages and move categories between the shares.
- An alert at 80 percent of a share, another when it is exceeded, and a third if half of it is gone in the first third of the month.
- When you change a budget's amount, months that have ended keep the figure they were judged against, so a past statement never changes.
- Budget alerts are off until you switch them on from the Budgets screen, because they need notification permission.
Rollover, where last month's unspent money lifts this month's ceiling and an overspend is taken off it, is a Pro feature. The budgets themselves and the income plan are free.
Set up a budget in four steps
- Install Masareef, create a free account and add your wallet.
- Pick the categories you want to control and give each a monthly amount.
- Or open the income plan, enter your monthly income and adjust the four shares.
- Switch on budget alerts, and log spending by hand or from bank alerts so the gauge moves by itself.
Common questions
Are budgets in Masareef free?
Yes. Budgets and the income plan are free for good. What is paid is rollover from one month to the next.
Does the budget update itself from bank alerts?
Yes. A transaction Masareef logs automatically from an alert counts toward its category's budget, and 25 a month are free.
Will it warn me before I go over?
Yes, if you turn alerts on: at 80 percent of a share, again when it is exceeded, and when half of it goes early in the month.
Can I set a weekly or yearly budget?
No. Budgets in Masareef are monthly only.
