    No ads, no data selling. Export or delete everything whenever you want.

You won't get lost

Guided setup, eight steps, none of them mandatory.

  1. Add your accounts with statement balance
  2. Import CSV, OFX, or paste from a spreadsheet
  3. Review your tags and automate categorization
  4. Create your first budget and track your finances

Complete them in any order, skip any of them, or skip onboarding entirely.

Questions?

How is this different from other budgeting solutions?
Same zero-based philosophy with no bank connections, at $2 a month instead of $8 or more. See how it compares
Why don't you offer bank connections?
Because handing a third party your bank credentials is the part of budgeting apps people most regret — CSV/OFX import with statement reconciliation keeps you in control.
Is my data private?
No ads, no data selling, no third-party access. Built and run by one independent developer — export or delete everything whenever you want.
