See where your money actually goes, and where it's headed.
A&O Budget puts your whole month on one screen. Project your budget months or years out with one click. You don't log in to your bank. Your data stays with you.
Same three steps, whether it's a budget or a closet
Analyze
See what's really happening, not what we think is happening. Where does the time, money, or effort actually go?
Optimize
Cut what doesn't help, stop doing the same work twice, and set things up so the everyday part is easy.
Improve
Check back, listen, and fix our side when we get something wrong. Tell us, and we'll tell you when it's fixed.
A clear monthly plan, without the bank login
Most budget apps want your bank password and $80 to $110 a year. A&O Budget does the planning and projections with a file you download from your bank.
Start from one bank file
Download your transactions from your bank's website as a CSV file (a plain spreadsheet file most banks offer), drop it in, and see where the money went. Or type your numbers in yourself.
Your monthly budget
Income, bills, and spending on one screen, so you know what's left before the month starts.
Look ahead
Project months or years out with one click. See where you'll be if nothing changes, and what a change does to it.
Debt payoff plan
Pick which debt to pay first and see the month each one is gone.
Savings goals
Set a goal, see the date you'll hit it, and keep going after the debt is paid off.
Your history
Past months and years stay put, so you can compare this March to last March.
What you can count on
- No bank login. We never ask for it.
- Your data stays with you. We don't collect it, sell it, or use it. It never touches our servers.
- No ads, no upsells. If a feature doesn't help you see or fix your budget, it doesn't go in.
- Free to start. The core budget is free. Paid plan pricing comes at launch.
What it doesn't do yet
- It doesn't connect to your bank automatically. You bring in a file when you want to update.
- There's no phone app yet. It runs in your web browser.
We'd rather tell you up front than have you find out later.
A&O Budget is the first app in A&O Life, a set of focused apps built the same way: simple, private, and fairly priced.
