Two Bob follows your wages and invoices in, your bills out, and the cash in your pocket — then gives you the one number that matters: what's available to spend today. Goals, streaks and your tax estimate sit right underneath it.
Most budget apps tell you what you saved and go quiet about the consequences. Two Bob shows both halves at once — send more into a goal, and you see straight away what that leaves you for the week.
Tap it. It's the same sum the app runs every time you log money against a savings goal — no rounding, no optimism.
That's the bit we liked. Nobody in 1953 needed a dashboard to understand two shillings. You had it in your hand, you knew what it'd buy, and you knew when it was gone.
Money got harder to hold since then. It arrives as a wage on a Thursday and an invoice paid whenever they feel like it. It leaves in eleven direct debits you signed up to years ago. Somewhere in the middle sits the tax you'll owe and haven't set aside. It's all real, it's all yours, and none of it is in your hand.
So we built the smallest honest thing we could: an app that adds it up, takes out what isn't really yours, and gives you back one number you can trust. Not worth much on its own. Worth knowing, though.
A wage, a fortnightly shift, an invoice you've sent and are still waiting on. Two Bob handles regular pay and lumpy self-employed income in the same list. Only know the yearly figure? The take-home calculator turns it into per-week, per-fortnight or per-month — before and after tax.
Rent, power, phone, the streaming service you forgot about. Each one gets a due date, so the app knows what's already spoken for before you go anywhere near it.
Two Bob estimates what you'll owe from what you've actually earned this tax year, then tracks what you've genuinely put by against it — on a deliberately serious dark card that's harder to raid. AU and UK bands, plus super or pension, so October isn't a shock.
That's the whole point. The big figure up top is what's left this pay cycle with the bills held back and the cash in your pocket counted in — the amount you can spend on a Friday without borrowing from next week.
No noise, no upsell in the middle of a task, no charts you'd need a finance degree to read.
Your balance isn't your money — some of it's already promised to the landlord. This is the figure with the bills held back and the cash in your pocket counted in, and it's the first thing you see every time you open the app. Tap "Bills held back" or "Next pay" and it shows its working.
Money you invoice for is never all yours. Two Bob estimates the year's liability from what you've actually earned, tracks what you've genuinely set aside against it, and keeps both on their own serious-looking dark card. AU and UK bands built in — and if you don't need it, hide the card in Settings.
Pair with a partner using a one-time code, pick what's shared, and Two Bob layers a joint view over your own — see it combined, or flip back to just your numbers, whenever you like.
Everything due next, in order, with the total. Water, wifi, rent and the rest get their own colour so you can tell at a glance which week is the expensive one.
"Bali trip, $3,000, by March" — not a vague savings number. Run as many as you like at once, each with its own pot, and Two Bob works out what you'd have to put by each week to actually get there. A weekly streak bar keeps score, and it marks the quarter, half and three-quarter points as you pass them.
Money you've taken out usually vanishes from a budget the moment it leaves the account. Tell Two Bob what you're actually holding and it's added back into what's available — a running total you top up or draw down, not a dated transaction you'll never get round to logging.
On the Bill tab, point the camera at it and Two Bob reads the merchant, the amount and the date — on your own phone, offline, with nothing shipped off to a scanning service. It fills the form in and stops there, because scanners misread things and your money shouldn't depend on a guess. Keep the photo and it files itself with the bill so you can find it again.
Week, fortnight, month or year — step back through them, or jump straight to a date. In versus out as paired bars, a ring showing where the money actually went, and one plain line telling you what share of it you kept compared with last time. Export the lot as a report when someone needs it in writing.
Type in a yearly salary and see it per week, fortnight, four weeks, month, quarter and year — before tax and after tax, side by side, on your country's bands. Tap the row you want and it drops straight into the wage you're adding.
Not a currency symbol bolted onto an app built for somewhere else. Real pay cycles, tax bands, super, pension, USC and PRSI for Australia, the UK, the US and Ireland — set your region once and the sums are right.
Where the money actually went, what you're putting it aside for, and the bill you're halfway through adding.
Your income, bills and entries live in an encrypted Postgres database, and every row is locked to your account — nobody browses anyone else's numbers, including us, outside of a support request you've asked for. Payments go through Apple's In-App Purchase system, so your card details never touch Two Bob at all.
Receipt photos are read on your phone, not ours — Google's ML Kit does the text recognition on-device and fills in the fields, so no image is ever sent away to be scanned. If you keep the photo with the bill, it's stored in a private bucket only your own account can open. Push notifications and product analytics run in the background — event counts and screen names, not the contents of your budget.
Bank linking is coming later, through a regulated Open Banking data provider, and it will be read-only, opt-in, and revocable in a tap. We don't sell your data. There's no advertising business here to feed — you pay for the app, and that's the whole model.

Buy it onceAs safe as we know how to make it, and we'll tell you exactly how. Everything sits in an encrypted Postgres database with row-level security, so your rows are readable only by your account. Payments run through Apple, so we never hold card details. Analytics is event-level only — we can see that someone opened the Trends screen, not what their trends say. And nothing is sold to anyone, because the app is paid for and doesn't need an ad business.
Both, and both at once — which is the point. You can log a weekly or fortnightly wage and the three invoices you're chasing in the same app, and Two Bob totals them properly instead of pretending one kind of income doesn't exist. If you're employed and your tax comes out before you're paid, hide the tax card in Settings and never think about it again. If you invoice, leave it on and it tracks the estimate against what you've actually put by.
Properly. Pick your region in Settings and the tax estimates use that country's bands, along with superannuation for Australia and pension contributions for the UK. Fortnightly pay cycles — normal in Australia, rarer elsewhere — are a first-class option rather than something you fake with a monthly setting. Estimates are estimates, mind: they're built to keep you from being caught short, not to replace your accountant.
On day seven you'll see a screen asking you to pick a plan, and until you do, the app pauses. Nothing gets charged automatically, because we don't take a card to start the trial — no quiet conversion on day eight. Your data stays exactly where it is: choose a plan next month and everything's still there, in order, waiting.
Yes, and not through us grudgingly — subscriptions live in your App Store account, so you cancel there in two taps and keep access until the period you've paid for runs out. Lifetime has nothing to cancel. Switching devices? Restore Purchases in Settings brings your plan back.
No. Two Bob works entirely on what you tell it — log a wage, an invoice, a bill, and it does the sums. Bank linking is coming through a regulated Open Banking provider, and when it arrives it'll be read-only, opt-in, and something you can revoke in a tap. If you never want to connect an account, the app still does its whole job.
Yes — as many as you want, each with its own name, target, date and pot. Add money to one without touching the others, take it back out when life happens, and Two Bob recalculates what you'd need to put by each week to still land on the date. There's a running weekly streak too, and it marks the quarter, half and three-quarter points on the way up. Nothing is a guess: every figure comes from what you've actually put in.
