Like Mint, but this app can be used by couples. The Goodbudget app is based around the “envelope system” of planning a budget.

YNAB
As in You Need A Budget, this app helps you stop living paycheck to paycheck, pay down debt, and be able to take some punches if anything unexpectedly arises. With the believe that every dollar has a job in your personal budget, the app forces you to live within your actual income and keeps you accountable - Helping you see what you need to do different if you get off track. You not only have the ability to set up a weekly or monthly budget, but you can also set up budgets for individual projects like your next “Europe vacation.”

You’ll love this app for expense tracking, instead of manually logging your expenses at the end of each day and allowing for fat-fingered errors, Wally lets you take a photo of your receipts.
