Budgeting, without the drama
Simple, fast, free apps built for your iPhone or Android. Your data lives in a file you own.
When you want more, the cloud subscription adds sync across your devices, the web app, a family budget, and MCP access so ChatGPT or Claude can do the data entry for you.
What it does
Every account and category is a day-grouped feed with an entry bar pinned to the bottom. Type an amount, pick an emoji, send. Spending is the common case; income shows up green.
Per-category limits by day, week, month, or year, with a live progress ring on every row. Income categories get targets instead of limits.
One daily number: what today can absorb outside any budget, computed from your planned income, your limits, and what the month has already taken.
Accounts in any currency, daily exchange rates, and honest conversion — a dollar charge on a dram card is recorded as both, converted once at entry.
Share a bank message with Dramless and it becomes a transaction — parsed, categorized from what it learned before, and reconciled against the balance the bank reports.
Unlimited accounts, transactions, and budgets — free, on the device, no sign-in required. The whole database exports to a single file and imports back anywhere.
Free vs. cloud
A simple line: everything that runs on your device is free forever, and everything that runs on our servers is one subscription. The free app is never crippled and your data is never hostage.

Dramless MCP
Dramless Cloud includes a hosted MCP server, so ChatGPT, Claude, or any MCP client works in your budget directly. Hand your assistant a bank statement, a stack of receipts, or your screen — it files the transactions, sorts the categories, and checks the budgets for you, making only the edits you ask for. Access is granted through OAuth with your approval, scoped to your data alone, and revocable any time on the connected apps page.
“Here’s my bank statement for August — enter everything and tell me if any budget is blown.”
ChatGPT or Claude reads the statement, files each transaction into Dramless over MCP, and answers with your actual numbers.
Get started
Download the app, and it works before you type a name or an email. If you later want your books on every device, the subscription is waiting inside.
