Why did I build a native iOS app for a budgeting tool that already has a web app? Because I wanted it for myself. I love Actual Budget. I hate entering transactions in a browser tab on my phone. So I built the thing I wanted. Then people asked to use it. So here we are.
Privacy mode blurs all amounts with one tap. Every number on every screen, hidden instantly. Useful when you're on a call, at a coffee shop, or just don't want to flash your finances. One toggle in the header. Tap to reveal, tap to hide.
Quick poll: do you prefer swipe gestures or tap menus for actions? Actual Budget Mobile uses native iOS swipe gestures throughout. Swipe left: edit or delete a transaction. Archive an account. Long-press for context menus. It feels like iOS — because it was built for iOS.
The thing I use most: the calculator toolbar. Enter a transaction amount on the keyboard row — no separate screen, no dismissing the keyboard. It sounds minor. It changes how fast you can enter transactions.
I've been building a native iOS app for @ActualBudget for the past several months. Today I'm ready to talk about it. Here's the story: 🧵

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.
