What Lunch Money does

Lunch Money is a budgeting tool built for the web first. You set monthly budgets by category, import transactions from your bank or a CSV file, and track money in many currencies. The iPhone and Android apps are companions for reviewing and sorting transactions on the go.

Monthly budgets by category
Track accounts in many currencies
Rules that sort transactions for you
Bank import or CSV upload
Recurring expense tracking
Phone apps to review and sort transactions on the go

Lunch Money is for people whose money is a little messy: several banks, a couple of currencies, maybe a side income. You set a budget per category each month, and rules sort new transactions for you. You can split, tag and group transactions, and stats and trends show where things are heading. Recurring expenses are tracked automatically.

It's designed to be used at a desk. The web app is the main experience, and that's where you set things up. The phone apps are for checking in: you can see spending stats, drill into each category, swipe through new transactions to review them, and add categories, tags and notes while you're out.

The pricing is friendly too: a long trial with no card, a yearly plan where you can set your own price, and a price locked in for life. There's no free plan and no savings goals. If you like to sit down and really understand your money, especially across currencies, it's a great fit. If you want everything on your phone, pick a mobile-first app.
