A clean, modern budgeting app that’s ideal for visual thinkers. It’s US only and iOS only for now, but easily one of the smartest we’ve tried.

Rocket Money
Useful for tracking bills and subscriptions. The free version covers most people’s needs, though the app does push upgrades often. Great app for US based users.
