Your records
A clearer picture for your household.
Keep each child’s entries organised alongside shared household costs. Your records stay on your device unless you choose to export or share them.
Read the Foster Budget privacy policy- Child and household records
- Review income, spending and savings by child, with shared costs kept in view.
- Receipts and reports
- Attach receipt images and prepare reports from your records. Choose what to include before sharing.
- Local storage and backups
- No account is required. Create and keep a backup somewhere safe before changing devices or uninstalling the app.
- Understanding the totals
- Figures reflect the entries you record. They are not your bank balance.
Who is Foster Budget for?

Is it available on iPhone?

Where can I find help?
Open Help and guidance in the app for getting started, recording income and receipts, plans and spending limits, records and reports, and backup settings.
