Feeling stressed about money? You’re not alone. Managing finances can feel overwhelming—but with the right tool and mindset, budgeting becomes less about restriction and more about empowerment.

At AppSuite, we believe simplicity leads to clarity. That’s why we created ClarityBudgets, a free, private, and visual budgeting tool designed to help you see exactly where your money is going—without logins or complexity.

Here’s how you can set up your first budget in just a few minutes.

Step 1: Set Your Monthly Income

Everything starts with knowing what you earn. In ClarityBudgets, click “Edit” on the Income card and enter your monthly take-home pay—the amount you can reliably expect each month. This becomes your foundation for every financial decision.

Think of it like your financial “map”—you can’t plan a route without knowing your starting point.

Step 2: Create Your Budget Categories

Now it’s time to tell your money where to go—before it disappears. Start by adding your essential expenses:

• Housing: Rent or mortgage
• Utilities: Electricity, internet, water, etc.
• Transportation: Car, fuel, or public transit
• Food: Groceries and dining out

Then, add flexible categories such as Entertainment, Savings, or Shopping. As you add amounts, the Budget Allocation Chart instantly updates to give you a visual snapshot of where your money is being distributed—your personal “income pie.”

Step 3: Log Expenses as You Go

The magic of budgeting is in tracking, not guessing. Each time you spend, open ClarityBudgets and hit “Log an Expense.” Select the category, enter the amount, and jot a quick note (like “weekly groceries” or “coffee run”).

💡 Privacy first: All your data is stored locally in your browser—never on our servers. Your financial info stays yours.

Step 4: Review and Adjust

This is where insights turn into action. Your dashboard instantly shows your total income, spending, and remaining balance. Each category has a progress bar that helps you see where you’re overspending—or where you’re under budget.

Spot trends early and make small adjustments to keep things balanced. Use List Master to track recurring subscriptions and Loan Calculator to plan bigger goals, like a car or a new laptop.

Take the First Step

Budgeting doesn’t need to be complicated, intrusive, or stressful. With ClarityBudgets, you get an easy, visual way to understand your finances—and finally take control of them.

Start today. In just five minutes, you’ll go from financial uncertainty to financial clarity.
