Web App
Use AI Budget Assistant right in your browser at https://ai-budget.pl — no install needed. It shares the same account and data as the mobile app.
Opening the Web App
- Open https://ai-budget.pl in any modern browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge)
- Sign in with the same email and password you use on your phone
- Your accounts, transactions, and settings appear automatically — they sync from the same server
There is nothing to download or install. The web app works on desktops, laptops, tablets, and phone browsers.
Add It to Your Home Screen
You can install the web app so it opens like a normal app — its own icon, no browser address bar.
- iPhone / iPad (Safari): tap the Share button, then Add to Home Screen. This is the only way to get an app icon on iOS today, as there is no App Store version yet.
- Android (Chrome): open the browser menu and choose Add to Home screen.
- Desktop (Chrome / Edge): look for the install icon in the address bar.
Installing changes how it launches, not what it can do: it still needs an internet connection.
What You Can Do
The web app covers the everyday essentials:
- View your dashboard, balances, expenses, and income
- Add and edit transactions, budgets, categories, and tags
- Analytics — charts, breakdowns, and trends
- AI Chat — ask questions and run commands in natural language
- Accounts — switch between your personal and shared accounts, change the display currency
It’s a great way to do longer sessions on a real keyboard — reviewing the month, cleaning up categories, or chatting with the AI assistant.
Transactions on a Wide Screen
When the browser window is wide enough — roughly as wide as a laptop or desktop screen — the Transactions screen changes to make better use of the space, with a sidebar and a top bar instead of the familiar phone layout.
- Filters are shown as a list down the left side, with a count next to each option, instead of a row of buttons — so you can see how many transactions a filter will show before you pick it.
- Expenses and income appear together in one list, grouped by day, with each day showing the total spent that day.
- Tapping a transaction opens it in a panel over the list instead of a new page — close the panel to go back to exactly where you were.
- You can select several transactions with checkboxes — hold Shift and click to select everything between two rows — and then change their category, add a tag, or delete them all together.
Below about 1024 pixels wide — which includes most tablets held upright — the browser shows the familiar phone layout instead. That’s expected: the wide layout is designed for a real desktop or laptop screen, and a narrower window is better served by the phone layout.
Settings on a Wide Screen
On a wide window, Settings keeps the whole list down the left side, and the one you pick opens beside it instead of replacing the page — so you can move between Profile, Notifications, Categories and the rest without going back each time.
- The address bar follows your choice, so you can bookmark a settings page or reload it and land back where you were.
- A few rows still open as a full page, because they are places to work rather than switches: Wallet, Shopping list, Purchase requests, Subscriptions and Import.
- Opening one account from Manage accounts, or one project from Projects, also opens a full page — with its own edit and delete buttons in the title bar, and a back arrow that brings you back to the list with the same row still highlighted.
- Signing out lives on the Settings page itself with nothing selected; the gear in the top bar takes you back there.
Below about 1024 pixels wide the familiar phone layout returns, with every row in one long list.
The Dashboard on a Wide Screen
The dashboard uses the extra room to put what needs your attention in front of you, rather than stretching the phone’s cards across it.
- A main column carries the running figures — what is safe to spend today, the month’s budget, income against expenses — and a narrow column of cards stands beside it. On a very wide screen there are two such columns.
- The shortcuts you reach for often stand in that narrow column: recording a currency exchange, moving money between accounts, the converter, your subscriptions, the shopping list and purchase requests. The first three open over the dashboard; the rest are their own screens. Which shortcuts appear, and in what order, comes from the same Quick actions list in Settings → Widgets that your phone uses — turn one off there and it goes from here too.
- Anything you add opens over the dashboard — an expense, a starting balance, a budget — so you stay on the screen you were reading.
- The bell opens your alerts and invitations as a panel instead of a separate page.
- A brand-new account sees a short setup checklist rather than a screen of empty cards: scan a receipt, type one in, or set a starting balance.
The Chat on a Wide Screen
On a wide window the AI chat gains a list of your past conversations down the left side, and the conversation itself is held to a comfortable reading width in the middle instead of being stretched across the screen.
- Picking a conversation from the list opens it in place, and the one you are reading stays highlighted.
- New conversation sits at the top of that list, so you can start one without losing your place in what you were reading.
- A conversation shared with the other people on your account says Shared on its second line, beside the date, rather than only carrying an icon.
- The box you type in stays at the bottom, with its microphone and send button next to the text rather than at opposite edges of the screen.
- A brand-new conversation shows what the assistant can actually do — add an expense, check a budget, put something on the shopping list — instead of an empty screen.
- Point at any row for its ⋯ menu, where you can rename, pin or delete the conversation. Pinned conversations sit at the top of the list above a dividing line. There is more on all three in the AI chat guide.
- The Private / Shared choice at the top of the conversation shows both options side by side, so the one you are not using is visible rather than hidden.
On a narrower window, and on the phone, the conversation list stays behind the History button as before.
Keyboard Shortcuts on a Wide Screen
On the wide Transactions screen you can work without reaching for the mouse:
- / or Ctrl/Cmd+K — jump to the search box
- N — open “Add expense”
- ↑ / ↓ — move between rows
- Enter — open the highlighted row
- Space — check or uncheck the highlighted row
- Esc — close whatever dialog is open
- ? — show this list of shortcuts on screen
These only work when your cursor isn’t inside a text box, and only on a wide screen — the phone layout doesn’t use them.
Limitations
The web version is a companion to the mobile app, not a full replacement. A few features behave differently in the browser:
- No offline mode. The mobile app keeps a local copy of your data so it works without a connection. The web app does not — it shows only what the server returns and needs an internet connection. Nothing is cached on your computer.
- Receipt scanning and voice input are limited. Camera capture, photo OCR, and voice recording are degraded or unavailable in the browser. Use the mobile app for receipts and voice.
- No biometric login. Face ID / fingerprint sign-in is mobile-only. On the web you log in with your email and password each time.
Tips
- For the best experience on big tasks, use a desktop or laptop browser.
- Press Enter to submit on the login screen and in AI chat.
- If your data looks out of date, refresh the page — the web app always reads live from the server.
- Your login is per-session in the browser. Refreshing keeps you signed in; closing the browser may require signing in again.
Which Should I Use?
| Task | Best on |
|---|---|
| Quick add on the go | Mobile |
| Scanning receipts, voice notes | Mobile |
| Working offline | Mobile |
| Long review sessions, typing-heavy edits | Web |
| Chatting with the AI on a keyboard | Web |
Both stay in sync, so use whichever fits the moment.
