Why Budgeting Feels Broken

Most budgeting tools feel like homework. They take too long to set up, require constant upkeep, and break down when life changes.

  • Budgeting tools feel like accounting
  • Miss a week and catching up becomes a weekend project
  • Real life changes and the system breaks

You just want to know:

  • Where did my money go?
  • Am I up or down this month?
  • How do I stay on track without hours of effort?

How It Works

1

Connect your accounts

Secure Plaid linking takes about 15 seconds. Your bank credentials never touch our servers.

2

See everything in one clean feed

Transactions show up organized and readable so you can review fast without noise.

3

Categorize quickly and stay on track

Make small, fast updates as you go. No weekend catch-up sessions required.

Clarity-first budgeting without the overwhelm.
