Hey PH. I built Survival Budget because every budgeting app I tried gave me the same problem: a long list of categories with no sense of what mattered most.
When an unexpected expense hit, I had no system for deciding what to cut. I was guessing.
So I built one.
Survival Budget organizes your expenses into four tiers: Survival, Important, Quality of Life, Future Building.
You allocate from the top down. You can’t move down until the level above is covered.
When money gets tight, the decision is already made.
It’s not a bank integration app. It’s a planning tool. Offline, private, no subscription.
