Turn your money
into a game
you actually win.
Set your savings goal, cover your fixed essentials, then give every euro that's left a clear purpose — month after month, year after year.
Every euro gets a purpose — before you spend it
Most budget apps are a rear-view mirror: they tell you where you overspent once the damage is done. BucketBudget flips it around — you assign every euro up front, so your savings goal and fixed expenses are protected before the month even starts.
Traditional budgeting apps
Passive & after-the-fact
They import your bank statements and label transactions. You find out you overspent after the money is already gone — leaving you with regret instead of real control.
The BucketBudget way
Every euro plays offense
Lock in your savings goal and fixed expenses first. Whatever's left becomes your playable pool — and every bucket is checked so your limits can never blow past it.
Next-Gen Travel & Trip Budgeting
Holidays are the most common budget-busters because they combine scattered, multi-currency spending. BucketBudget includes an innovative, dedicated Travel Mode designed specifically to corral vacation costs.
Event-Driven Trip Workspaces
Spin up isolated travel events with specific dates, customized icons, and target constraints that sit cleanly alongside your main yearly budget.
Subcategory Trip Bindings
Easily bind sub-budgets (like Flights, Accommodation, Dining) to travel events. Automated guards ensure child-categories stay perfectly within the total trip budget.
Active Travel Calendars
Track completed trip days, visualize daily spending averages, and toggle tags to isolate vacation-specific outflows.
