Budget Buddy

What is it?

Budget Buddy is a simple accounting program that allows users to keep and track their household expenses, income, and assets. It is a slimmed down version of other accounting programs to increase ease of use for common users. It also includes a simple To Do List function in which users can create and edit tasks with a description, date and time for a deadline, repeat daily, weekly, or monthly, and let the app know whether or not they wish to recieve notifications.
