Plan
Build monthly spending intentions before income arrives.
One connected financial workflow
Plan what incoming money should do, assign it after it arrives, and keep every account, card purchase, and report connected to the decision that came first.
One connected rhythm
Everything works together
Each area answers a different question. Together, they carry the budget from intention to the next informed decision.
Build monthly spending intentions before income arrives.
Assign real money to Categories only after it is available.
Keep accounts and real Transactions connected to the budget.
Resolve downloaded activity that still needs a decision.
See what card spending makes ready for payment.
Use recurring activity and Income Schedules for what comes next.
Read reports and history built from the same records.
Shape Categories, accounts, schedules, and Workspaces.
Spending Plan + Funding
A Spending Plan describes what you want future income to do. Funding turns that intention into category balances only when real money is ready to assign.
Plan the month first, then fund each category as income arrives.
Accounts + Transactions
A budget stays useful when real account activity is part of it. Record transactions manually or review downloaded activity without giving up control of the final record.
Transactions
Downloaded items stay visible until every detail looks right.

Credit + Debt
A funded credit-card purchase reduces the original spending category and makes the covered amount available in Credit Card Payments. You keep the category context without losing sight of what the card needs next.
Recurring Money
Income Schedules, Recurring Transactions, and Upcoming Transactions make the next period visible before it arrives. The schedule remains editable without turning every generated transaction into a separate chore.
Recurring
Income and repeating expenses, organized by their natural rhythm.

Start with practical categories, then make the Workspace reflect the way you plan, shop, and review.
Create groups, reorder priorities, hide what is not active, and reuse templates.
Organize accounts, manage and merge payees, and add tags that make transactions easier to find.
Choose the budgeting rhythm and currency-aware display. Additional Workspaces follow plan limits.
Reports + History
Reports use the same categories and transactions you work with every day. Move from a spending trend to the account or category activity that explains it.
