Take a look inside
The actual product — here’s what you get.
Your whole money life on a single tab
Drop in what you earn and every total calculates itself. Needs, Wants and Fun each get a progress bar — you always know where you stand, no formulas to touch.
Log a spend before you forget it
Type the amount once and it auto-sorts into Needs, Wants or Fun. Bills show Paid, Due or Late in color, and it quietly tallies your yearly subscription leak.
The features other budgets forget
An ADHD Tax tracker for late fees and impulse buys, savings jars with goals, a 24-hour wait list, and a no-spend streak that actually makes you want to keep going.

What buyers are saying
★★★★★ from happy budgeters
I’ve abandoned every budget app by week two. This is the first one that stuck — it’s literally one screen and the Safe-to-Spend number keeps me honest.
The ADHD Tax tracker was a wake-up call. I was quietly bleeding about $170 a month on late fees and impulse buys I didn’t even remember making.
No math is the whole reason I bought it, and it delivered. I type a number, it does everything else. Took me about five minutes to set up.
The 24-hour wait list alone paid for this twice over. I’ve talked myself out of so many impulse buys just by parking them there for a day.
Finally a budget that doesn’t shame me for missing a week. It’s undated so I just pick back up, and the no-spend streak is weirdly motivating.
Works perfectly on my phone, which is the only way I’d ever actually keep up with it. Color-coded bills mean I haven’t missed a due date since.

Yes. Open your copy in the free Google Sheets app and update it anywhere. It’s designed to stay readable on a small screen.
