Your money, accounted for.
Not just tracked.
Your bank shows a balance. BudgetFox shows how much of it is already spoken for — rent, bills, and what you're setting aside — so the number you're looking at is money you can actually use.
Every total opens. You can see exactly what it's made of, down to cash in a drawer and money someone still owes the house.
First invites are going to households. If you're the one who keeps the money straight at home, get on the list.
Closed beta, so we'll let households in a few at a time. Already have an account? Log in.
The number on the screen is a number you can trust
Not a prettier list of card swipes. A household record that matches the bank, includes cash, and opens when you tap it.
Every total has a source
Open a category, a month, or a balance and see the entries behind it. Nothing sits on the screen unless it was recorded and it still adds up.
Named the way you talk at home
Income, spending, what you own, what you owe. Grouped like a household actually thinks, not like a textbook chart of accounts.
Match the bank
Statement lines next to your own record. Tick what cleared. See what is still outstanding before you believe the balance.
The year on one grid
Set what you expect in each category, month by month. Leave a cell and it is saved. No separate budget file to keep in sync.
Speak for the money you have
Put tonight’s balance toward rent, bills, and what you are setting aside. Fill from the plan, or cover an overspend from another envelope.
Plan, set aside, spent
See the plan, what you actually reserved, and what the month did — for this month, or any range you care about.
Household words. Same solid record.
Out of the box it says spending, categories, and people, the words you already use. The record underneath is the same kind a business will use later. You do not have to learn that vocabulary to run the house.
See the business page if you came here for a business's books. That side opens after households are settled in.
- Spending
- Categories
- People
- Cash and IOUs
- Expenses
- Chart of accounts
- Contacts
- Invoices
Three things you will actually do
Set the household up once. Then it is record, match, plan.
Your household is ready
A household is created for you with sensible starting points. You add the categories you already use: groceries, rent, the car, etc.
Write it down, then match the bank
Record spending, transfers, cash, and the odd manual thing. When the statement arrives, put it beside your record and tick what cleared.
Plan the year, then look back
Fill the grid, give your money a job, and see whether the month did what you thought it would.
What you will not find in this beta
We would rather say this up front. None of it blocks a household from keeping a clean record today.

Households go first
Leave an email. We will send an invite as we open the den a few houses at a time, plus the odd note on what shipped. One-click unsubscribe. The address goes nowhere else.
