A zero-based budget that stays in sync across web and mobile. Budget Bandit is a zero-based budgeting app. You assign every dollar you have to a category until there is nothing left to assign. What you can spend in any category is the number sitting in it, not a forecast and not last month's average. This documentation covers everything you can do in the app, from your first budget to reconciling an account down to the cent. ## Start here Create a budget, add an account, and assign your first dollars in about ten minutes. Ready to Assign, categories, and the rule that every dollar gets a job. Link an account so transactions arrive on their own. Bring your history over from YNAB, Monarch, Actual, or a CSV file. ## What Budget Bandit does * **Zero-based budgeting.** Assign income to categories. Ready to Assign reaches zero when every dollar has a job. * **Accounts that reconcile.** Match the app to your bank statement and lock in a cleared balance you can trust. * **Bank linking and imports.** Pull transactions automatically through a linked bank, or import a file from another app. * **Goals and targets.** Tell a category how much it needs and by when. The app tracks the gap. * **Reports.** Net worth, spending by category, income versus expense, and more, built from the same data you budget against. * **Web and mobile, in sync.** Changes you make on one device show up on the other. The mobile app adds a biometric lock for privacy. Budget Bandit is a budgeting tool, not financial advice. It tracks the money you tell it about and does the math. The decisions stay yours.
