β˜… What You Get

Everything the binder did. Nothing it couldn’t.

Every feature. Every screen. No hidden upsell β€” what you see in the trial is what you keep.

Β 

β˜… Brand New Β· Nobody Else Does This β˜…

🧾 Track Sales Tax on Every Purchase β€” and File Schedule A With Confidence

Live in Washington, Texas, Florida, Nevada, Tennessee, South Dakota, Wyoming, or Alaska? You have no state income tax to deduct β€” but the IRS lets you deduct the sales tax you actually paid. Most people give up and take the IRS “standard table” estimate. We built a tool that quietly logs the real sales tax on every purchase, month after month, and hands you a print-ready summary at tax time.

Opt in with one tap β€” pick your state from the preset chips or type any rate. Live in Oregon, Delaware, Montana, or New Hampshire (no sales tax states)? Leave the feature off β€” it stays completely out of your way. Live in a state with income tax? You’ll want to compare which deduction saves you more; our summary makes that a five-minute decision instead of a shoebox nightmare.

βœ“ One-tap opt-in with 8 state presets βœ“ Bulk back-fill on existing rows βœ“ Monthly & vendor rollups βœ“ Print-ready Schedule A worksheet
β˜… New for Launch

Five Things That Make This Feel Different

Built specifically for people leaving Quicken, YNAB, or a hand-built spreadsheet β€” these are the everyday wins that show up the first week.

🧺

Sales Tax Center NEW

One-tap opt-in with 8 state presets (WA Β· TX Β· FL Β· NV Β· TN Β· SD Β· WY Β· AK). A dedicated Sales Tax dashboard sums every dollar of sales tax you paid this year. Monthly totals, vendor rollups, and a print-ready Schedule A worksheet β€” feed IRS Schedule A without a shoebox of receipts. Includes a bulk back-fill tool for existing CSV history.

🏷️

Vendor Manager NEW

One tidy screen listing every vendor in your ledger. Rename β€œSQ *STARBUCKS #4482” to just β€œStarbucks” and every expense updates in a single tap. Merge duplicates. Delete typos. Auto-create Vendor Rules so future imports stay clean.

πŸ“ˆ

Category Report by Account NEW

Pick any category (or ten), pick any accounts, pick any date range β€” get a clean, printable breakdown of exactly how much hit each bucket. Perfect for β€œhow much did we really spend on groceries this year?” questions.

πŸ“·

AI Receipt Scanner

Snap a photo of any receipt. The vendor, date, amount, and category fill themselves in β€” no typing. Every scan is saved to your private gallery for warranty and tax-time documentation.

πŸ”„

Recurring Transactions

Rent, Spotify, the gym, that streaming service you forgot about β€” set them up once. They appear every month automatically. Edit anytime; the change rolls forward, never backward.

πŸ’°

Bulk Reserve Sweep

Got paid? Split that deposit across every reserve at once β€” taxes, Christmas, vacation, insurance. Watch the source balance update live. One tap to undo the whole thing.

⚠️

Smart CSV Import

Importing the wrong CSV into the wrong account is a nightmare to undo. Our import scans the file before you confirm and warns you if the transactions look like they belong to a different account.

πŸ”—

Account Quick-Switch

Multiple accounts? Jump between them with a tap from the dashboard. Each one keeps its own categories, expenses, and reserves β€” but you stay in your flow.

The System That’s Always Worked

The bones of the original Guidebook β€” translated to your phone, your way.

πŸ“…

Monthly planning

A fresh budget every month. Roll the previous month forward, copy a template, or start clean β€” your call.

πŸ“Š

Unlimited categories

Groceries, fuel, dog food, giving β€” organize exactly how you actually spend, not how an app thinks you should.

🏦

Reserves & envelopes

Money set aside for taxes, insurance, Christmas, vacation β€” treated like real money, not just a label. Watch them grow with each contribution.

πŸ’΅

Multi-account ledger

Checking, savings, credit cards, cash β€” every account on its own page, every dollar in its right place.

πŸ’Ύ

CSV bank import

Export from your bank, drag the CSV in, categorize with one click. No live bank connection, no scraping, no third-party access.

πŸ“ˆ

Big-picture reports

A monthly dashboard, an annual review, and printable summaries β€” all in plain English, not accountant-speak.

πŸ–¨οΈ

Print Center

Tax season, an attorney, a financial advisor β€” print or email any month, any year, with two taps. Your records on your terms.

πŸ“š

Built-in manual

Every screen has a help button. The whole user manual is one tap away β€” no Googling, no support tickets to learn the basics.

Your data is yours!

One of the reasons we built this in the first place.

πŸ”’

No live bank connection, ever

We don’t ask for your bank password and we don’t talk to your bank. CSV in, control yours. The way it should be.

πŸ”§

Daily auto-backups

Your data is backed up daily and kept for 30 days. Export the whole thing as JSON anytime. Walk away whenever you want with everything.

πŸ‘₯

One person, one subscription

Each subscription covers one person β€” your account, your privacy. Family members who want their own finances need their own login. We don’t share or aggregate.

See it in action.

A quick walkthrough of every screen, before you decide.
