The method, in three moves

01

Budget the money you have

No forecasts, no wishful thinking. When a paycheck lands, it shows up as Ready to Assign — and you deal it out to categories until it hits zero.

02

Spend from envelopes

Every category is an envelope with a real balance. At the store, the question isn't "can I afford this?" — it's "what does Groceries say?"

03

Roll with the punches

Overspent on dining out? Move money from another envelope and keep going. A budget that bends is a budget you'll actually keep.

Accounts & registers

Checking, savings, cash, and credit cards — every transaction in one tidy ledger.

Monthly envelopes

Assign, adjust, and carry balances forward month to month automatically.

Overspending alerts

Red ink where it belongs, so nothing slips past you.

Reports

Spending by category and net worth, at a glance.

Your money, on paper.

Set up your accounts and assign your first dollars in under five minutes.
