How it works

Four steps to total clarity.

No sync tokens, no bank permissions — just your numbers, organised the way you think about them.

01

Set up your categories and budgets

Create budget envelopes for food, transport, utilities, rent — anything that fits your life. Name them however you think. Takes about two minutes.

02

Log transactions — or import a CSV

Add each transaction as it happens. Got a month of bank history? Import it as a CSV in one go. Recurring bills can run on autopilot.

Why manual

You log it. You own it.

No bank linking means no sync failures, no permission revokes, no aggregator data breaches. You stay aware of every peso because you're the one writing it down.

You catch every peso

Logging triggers a mental check-in. That tiny friction is how awareness habits form — and why budgets actually stick.

No bank access, ever

We never see your credentials, never touch your accounts. Your data lives here, not in a third-party aggregation pipeline.

Works with any bank

Rural banks, digital wallets, cash-only categories — if you can write it down, you can track it here. No integration required.
