Finally, a Budget That Works for Real Life
Most budgeting apps force you into dozens of tiny categories—leaving you feeling broke when one runs out. Our simple 5-category system makes money management easy. After taking care of essentials, savings, and big expenses, you’ll always see exactly how much is left for guilt-free spending. No more budget guilt. No more 'category prison.' Just freedom—and clarity.
