Keep Above — Future Budget

Most budget apps grade your past spending. Keep Above plans your future — a budget app and bill tracker that shows, at a glance, how close your balance is to safe: the point where every upcoming expense is covered — and how much is truly yours to spend.

Add your recurring bills. Add your income. Keep your balance updated. That's the whole routine — Keep Above does the math and draws the picture.

Your balance lives on a simple status bar. In the safe zone, every upcoming bill is accounted for — anything above it is yours to spend or save. Below it, you see exactly how far you are from safe, so you can ease off before a bill lands short.

No logging every purchase. No category budgets to balance. No receipts to scan. No "you spent $47 on coffee" guilt-trips. Free to use, with an optional Premium plan.

HOW IT WORKS

Keep Above uses sinking funds — a classic method for preparing for irregular expenses. Rent due next week? The bar already accounts for it. Annual subscription in five months? We track how much should be set aside today.

Every day, the app recalculates where "safe" sits from the bills and income you've entered — so you always know where you stand, what's spoken for, and when your next pinch point is.

There's no expense diary to keep — day-to-day spending already shows up in your balance, so updating that one number refreshes the whole picture. If you can type your balance, you already know how to use it.

NO BANK LINKING. EVER.

Keep Above is manual-entry by design. We never ask for your bank login, account numbers, or card details — we don't connect to your bank at all. You enter what you want to track. That's it.
