As the world of tech prepares for the launch of the Apple VisionPro, a new app has arrived just in time to help with budgeting, via virtual reality.
Enter Simplsaver, an Australian-made budgeting app, which is now breaking new ground by launching the first-ever budget app compatible with the Apple Vision Pro headset.
The Apple Vision Pro headset represents a novel style of computing that immerses users in a virtual world, where applications are at their fingertips.
Simplsaver’s virtual reality version mirrors its iPhone counterpart, offering a unique way to enhance budget management by displaying windows side-by-side within a virtual environment.
Income calculations
Both the phone and VR versions of Simplsaver provide users with a comprehensive set of features, including automatic monthly take-home income calculations, support for couples, Expense Insights, cost projections based on the Consumer Price Index, and robust privacy safeguards to protect your financial data.
While the smartphone version remains the more convenient and familiar choice for many users, the VR adaptation offers an exciting alternative for those seeking a fresh approach to financial management. Simplsaver’s mission is to simplify budgeting in every conceivable reality.
Founder of Simplsaver, Leigh Stark, explained the rationale behind this innovative step, stating, “Budgeting may not be the most thrilling use of virtual reality, but it allows us to explore financial thinking from a different perspective.
“By venturing into different platforms and designs, we can discover ways to help individuals gain a better grasp of their finances and improve their budgeting skills.”
Limited availability
It’s worth noting that the Apple Vision Pro headset is not expected to become a mainstream device due to its high price and limited availability.
Priced at $3499 USD, it will launch exclusively in the United States in February, making it inaccessible for the majority of consumers.
Nevertheless, it offers a glimpse into the future and serves as a valuable tool for app developers to explore new possibilities for their products and concepts, including the expansion of Simplsaver to other devices.
“While the Apple Vision Pro may not be the go-to choice for budgeting, developing and testing a budget app for emerging platforms provides us with fresh insights on how to simplify budget management. It gives us ideas on how to enhance our app for the benefit of everyone,” says Stark.
Simplsaver is currently available on the App Store for both the iPhone and the Apple Vision Pro, providing users with a diverse range of options for achieving financial success.
