Meet PennyPulse: Budget by Project on Web, iPhone, and Android

Most finance apps pour every expense into one endless list. Rent next to groceries next to the tiles for the kitchen renovation — and when you ask the one question that matters, “where is my money actually going?”, the answer is buried in a scroll.

PennyPulse takes a different approach: it organizes your money into projects.

What PennyPulse does

A project is any part of your financial life that deserves its own budget — Everyday spending, a renovation, Freelance income, Health. Each project has its own transactions, its own budget with a progress bar, and its own insights. Nothing gets mixed together, and nothing gets lost.

Around that core, PennyPulse gives you:

  • A customizable dashboard — toggle the widgets you care about: balance card, period report, category breakdown, project highlights, recent transactions
  • Period comparison — switch between week, month, and year views and see the delta versus the previous period
  • Spending insights — a category breakdown of where the money went, savings rate, daily burn, and net cash flow trends
  • Recurring transactions — set rent or subscriptions to repeat weekly, monthly, or yearly and stop logging them by hand
  • Powerful filtering — slice transactions by type, category, project, or search text
  • Data export — download all of your transactions as CSV anytime; it’s your data

And one thing PennyPulse deliberately doesn’t do: monetize you. It’s GDPR-compliant, shows zero ads, and never sells your data.

One account, every platform

PennyPulse is out now on all three platforms, with everything in sync under one account:

Log an expense on your phone at the checkout, review the month on the web at your desk — it’s the same data everywhere.
