About this app

Where does your money go? Frustrated you aren’t getting ahead? Entirely unsure about your future? You’re asking the right questions but the world has taught you to think about money all wrong. You aren’t broke, but your money mindset is. It’s time to change your relationship with money and enjoy your spending.

Don’t settle for a life of constantly second-guessing your spending decisions, your progress, and your future—trapped somewhere between defeated, embarrassed, and overwhelmed. There is another way.

You need a set of habits to change your mindset and your behavior, until you are spending purposefully, saving aspirationally, and even giving generously.

YNAB has taught millions of people a set of habits to change their relationship with money for good. As these habits become second nature, you’ll stop fighting about money, make better decisions, and sleep better at night. Confident, secure — are you ready to feel this way about your money (and so much more)?

It is by far the best budget app I've used. I've been using it for years now. Best feature is, most budget apps will simply go into the red for a line item. But still let you think you have enough in another budget. But you don't, since you're in the red. YNAB encourages you to move money to keep things out of the red. I was able to easily onboard my wife when we started sharing expenses. Price for a year is respectable. I don't see myself ever using anything else.

I'm not a huge fan of the allocating system, especially with credit cards and tracking internal payments from one account to another. It does sync up nicely and allows me to see my spending better. I also don't like that it carries forward positive money in a category but not a negative.

It takes some getting used to, but I wouldn't use ANY other budgeting app. It's impossible to go over budget with the methodology. Everything syncs and rolls up clean (even if you don't understand why at first). Makes you think about money differently. I believe the methodology is rooted in double entry accounting, but it's woven into how the app calculates your transactions and presents the money you have left. Fantastic!
