Guiding philosophy

Proactive, not reactive.

Income comes first

Plan only with money you've actually earned. No projecting, no wishful spending — your budget is grounded in reality.

Every dollar gets a job

Assign each dollar to needs, wants, or savings before it leaves your account. Spending becomes intentional, not reactive.

One Purpose Jar at a time

Group goals into focused Purpose Jars — a year, a move, a launch. Take control in deliberate, finishable chunks.

Built for everyone

Plan solo, or together.

Money is rarely just yours. Invite a partner, your family, or a team into a Purpose Jar and decide where every dollar goes — side by side, with shared receipts and shared progress.

Solo planners

Run your own projects, anchor to your real income, and stay accountable to yourself.

Partners

Plan a wedding, a move, or the year ahead together. Share a Purpose Jar and decide on every dollar as a team of two.

Families

Bring household income into one place. Invite family members to view or co-edit Plan Budgets so everyone stays on the same page.

Teams & roommates

Pool resources for a trip, a side hustle, a shared apartment, a school, a non-profit, or a PTA. Roles keep editing safe — viewers, editors, and owners.

How it works

From earned to assigned in five steps.

A deliberate flow that turns whatever you actually earned into a plan you can stand behind.

  1. 01

    Create a Purpose Jar

    Purpose Jar Hub

    Every goal you're saving toward gets its own jar — a vacation, a move, a wedding. Spin up a Purpose Jar and start with a clean slate.

    Set your savings target

    Decide the amount

    First, decide how much you want to save for this particular thing. That target becomes the finish line for the jar.

    Save it up

    Fund the jar

    Add money to the jar as you earn it. No projections, no IOUs — you only plan with what's actually saved.
