💰 A Simpler Way to See Your Money

Budgeting can become unnecessarily complicated.

Multiple apps.

Cloud accounts.

Subscriptions.

Too many dashboards.

Too much information.

Retro Budget Studio takes a different approach.

It gives you one focused workspace for:

Plan → Record → Review

Create a budget period, organize your income and expenses, record transactions, and use the dashboard to understand where your money is going.

Your budget data stays in your browser.

✨ What Makes Retro Budget Studio Different?

🔒 Private by Design

The app runs locally in your browser and stores your budget data using browser storage.

There is no account or server required to use the planner.

🌐 Works Offline

Once you have the HTML file, you can open the app in a modern browser without needing an internet connection.

📊 See Your Cash Position

The dashboard helps you understand:

• Current cash position
• Planned cash
• Projected cash
• Income activity
• Outflows
• Spending patterns
• Cash movement across the budget period

🧾 Record Your Transactions

Use the transaction journal to record real financial activity and connect transactions to your budget categories.

💾 Keep Your Own Backups

Download your budget as a JSON backup whenever you want.

You can later import the backup again.

📅 Plan Different Periods

Create new budget periods and carry forward category names and planned amounts.

📱 Responsive Interface

Designed to work across:

• Desktop
• Tablet
• Mobile

🖨️ Print-Friendly

The app includes dedicated print styling so your budget can be printed when needed.

🗂️ Five Budget Groups

Retro Budget Studio organizes your financial plan into five groups:

01 — Income

Track salary, freelance income, and other sources of money.

02 — Savings & Investing

Plan emergency funds, trips, investments, and other savings goals.

03 — Bills & Subscriptions

Organize recurring obligations such as housing, utilities, internet, phone plans, subscriptions, and insurance.

04 — Everyday Spending

Track groceries, dining, transportation, household expenses, personal care, leisure, and other everyday spending.

05 — Debt Payments

Keep debt-related payments visible alongside the rest of your budget.

You can also rename the group labels to fit your own system.

📊 Powerful Budget Dashboard

Instead of only showing a list of numbers, Retro Budget Studio turns your budget into a visual workspace.

The dashboard includes:

• Cash position
• Planned cash
• Projected cash
• Income vs. outflows
• Category spending
• Budget progress
• Cash-flow visualization
• Spending rankings
• Transaction review information
• Daily cash movement

The goal is simple:

Make your money easier to see.

🧾 Transaction Journal

Record your financial activity directly inside the app.

Each journal entry can include:

• Date
• Amount
• Budget group
• Category
• Note

The journal supports up to 500 transaction entries.

The app also checks entries for issues such as:

• Invalid dates
• Invalid amounts
• Missing groups
• Incorrect categories
• Transactions outside the selected period

This helps you catch mistakes before relying on the numbers.

📈 Cash Forecasting

Retro Budget Studio doesn't only look at what has already happened.

It also provides a projected view based on your budget plan and remaining amounts.

The dashboard distinguishes between:

Current Cash

What your recorded activity indicates now.

Planned Cash

What the period could look like based on your planned income and outflows.

Projected Cash

A forward-looking calculation using recorded activity plus remaining planned amounts.

This gives you a clearer picture of where your budget is heading.

🗃️ Flexible Categories

The planner supports up to 176 category slots across the five budget groups.

You can:

• Name categories
• Set planned amounts
• Add optional due days
• Track actual activity
• Mark items as completed
• Customize group names

Create a system that matches the way you actually manage money.

💾 Backup & Restore

Your budget data is stored locally in your browser.

That's convenient — but it also means you should maintain your own backups.

Retro Budget Studio includes:

Download Backup

Export your budget data as a JSON file.

Import Backup

Restore your saved JSON data whenever needed.

CSV Journal Export

Export journal entries as CSV for use with spreadsheets or other tools.

Important

Always download a backup before clearing browser/site data.

If browser storage is cleared, locally stored budget information may be lost.
