Why DollarWarden

Everything you need to run a budget that works

Purpose-built for the two things that actually matter: assigning money to envelopes and recording transactions — without friction.

Assign every dollar

A focused master–detail Assign view. Give each envelope a job, edit amounts inline, filter by funding or available balance, and watch Ready-to-Assign update live.

Lightning-fast transactions

On the desktop register, an inline add row logs a transaction in seconds. On your phone, Add opens a rich form — date, payee, amount, envelope, and more — so entry stays comfortable on a small screen. Each account has its own full register with reconcile, cleared vs uncleared balances, and the same filters as the main Transactions tab — and the list stays fast even with tens of thousands of rows.

Goals that keep you on track

Fund up to an amount each month or save toward a target by a date. Progress rings and status colours show exactly where you stand.

Clear, honest reports

Average income and spend, spending by category, income vs. spend, savings rate, and net worth over time — minimal charts that tell you the truth at a glance.

Onboarding in minutes

Start from scratch, duplicate an existing DollarWarden budget, or bring your history with you — choose a file format (QFX/OFX, QIF, or YNAB), then start a new budget or import into one you already have. Bank statements can seed a brand-new budget or add to an existing account; YNAB exports work both ways too. It picks up right where you left off.

On web & Android

Use DollarWarden in any browser or on native Android, with biometric unlock for quick, secure access. iOS is planned with the same experience.
