Everything you need, nothing you don't
Most budgeting apps ask you to connect your bank and then drown you in categories. MADBU keeps it deliberately simple, so you actually keep using it.
Five-second logging
Tap the + button, type an amount, pick a category. That's the whole flow. No receipts to scan, no accounts to link.
Budgets that breathe
Set one monthly number and MADBU shows what's left in real time — not a post-mortem at the end of the month.
Savings goals
Name what you're saving for, set a target, and watch the bar fill every time you move money toward it.
Streaks & points
Every entry earns points. Log daily and your streak grows. It sounds small — it's the reason people stick with it.
Honest breakdowns
See exactly which categories ate your month, with weekly spend patterns and trends over time.
Installs like an app
Add MADBU to your home screen and it runs full-screen with its own icon — no app store, no download.
Three steps to a real budget
You can be up and running before your coffee gets cold.
Create your account
Email and a password. No bank credentials, no card, no trial countdown.
Set your monthly budget
One number for what you can spend this month. MADBU does the subtraction from there.
Log as you go
Bought lunch? Log it. Got paid? Log it. Moved money to savings? Log it. Your dashboard updates instantly.
The part that makes it stick
Budgeting fails because it feels like homework. MADBU borrows what actually works from habit apps: visible progress and a streak you don't want to break.
- ✓10 levels from Starter to Legend, earned through consistent logging.
- ✓12 badges for milestones like your first $1,000 saved or a 30-day streak.
- ✓Daily streaks with bonus points that grow the longer you keep them alive.
- ✓Instant feedback — points and unlocks pop the moment you log.
Unlock all twelve and you'll have logged every day for a month, saved four figures, and built the habit that got you there.
