Budgeting that fits your life, one bento box at a time.

Bento splits every paycheck into essentials, lifestyle, and free-to-spend, tracked against your real pay cycle, not an arbitrary calendar month. No ads. No accounts. Your data never leaves your phone.

Essential and lifestyle bills stay fixed in dollars; drag the slider and watch what a bigger or smaller paycheck actually does to your freedom to spend.

Pay-cycle aware budgeting

Built around your paycheck, not the calendar

Weekly, fortnightly, or monthly, Bento tracks your actual pay period and tells you exactly what's safe to spend until your next payday, with a live countdown and a one-tap "log pay" flow.

Bills & subscriptions

Every bill, tracked to the day

See essential and lifestyle recurring costs separately, with full price history: a rent hike or subscription price increase never quietly throws off last month's numbers. Edit or backfill any past charge without losing history.

One-tap log

Log a purchase in two taps

Categories and multi-currency support built in: a coffee in Tokyo and one at home both land in the right bucket.

Savings goals

Watch your goals fill up

Set a target, log savings in any currency, and see your pace toward it estimated automatically.

Speaks your language

Built for a global paycheck

Fully translated into English, Japanese, Spanish, French, and German, plus support for 24 currencies with live exchange rates.

Full spending history

Every month, at a glance

Scroll back through any month to see exactly what came in, what went out, and where it went, down to the individual charge, even after you've since changed a bill's price or schedule.

Privacy by design

Your money, your phone. Full stop.

No accounts, no cloud sync, no ads, no trackers. Every number stays on your device, with one-tap local backups you control and can restore anytime.

No accounts

Open the app and start budgeting: nothing to sign up for, nothing to log into.

No cloud, no servers

Everything is stored on-device. The only network call Bento ever makes is an anonymous currency-rate lookup.

No ads, no trackers

No analytics SDKs, no ad networks. Bento doesn't know who you are, and it likes it that way.

Multi-currency

Wherever your paycheck comes from

Bills, spending, and goals can each carry their own currency, converted automatically with live exchange rates across 24 currencies.
