The method

Give every dollar a job.

Alfie is built on plain, proven budgeting — plan your month, assign your income, and watch your plan stay balanced. Pick the setup that fits how your brain works.

⚖️

Guided Balanced

Alfie suggests sensible starting amounts across needs, wants, and goals — then you adjust. The gentlest way in.

🎯

Zero-Based

Assign every dollar of income until nothing is left unassigned. Total control for people who love a plan that adds up.

📈

Track & Learn

Start by recording what you spend, and let the categories build up. Budget forms from your real life, not a blank template.

“You have $742 safe to spend.”
“Groceries changed by $84. Your plan is still balanced.”

Everything in one calm place

A whole budget, without the spreadsheet.

The antidote to the Google Sheets budget template — designed to feel good to open, not like a chore.

Meet Alfie

A quiet guide, not an algorithm.

Alfie explains what a number means, points to the next sensible action, and replays a tutorial whenever you want one. Calm, observant, and specific — never a lecture.

  • Not AI. Every tip, explainer, and tutorial is authored and bundled — no model, no server, no bank connection, no financial advice
  • Plain-language term explainers with a small example and the formula when it helps
  • Deterministic, offline help search — Alfie works with no signal

Built for privacy

Your budget stays yours.

Alfie is local-first by design. Apex Radius does not run an Alfie account, never receives your budget, receipts, or categories, and uses no advertising identifiers or third-party analytics.

No bank connection

No account import, no logins, no linked cards. You enter what you choose.

No ads or tracking

No advertising identifiers and no third-party analytics inside the app.

No generative AI

Alfie is authored and deterministic — no model and no financial advice.

On device & iCloud

Data lives on your device and, when available, your private iCloud container.

Optional privacy lock

Face ID or passcode unlock, app-switcher blur, and amount-free notifications.

Export & delete

Export your data to CSV anytime, and delete everything with a confirmed action.
