Visit Goodbudget

Goodbudget is a personal and household budgeting application built around the envelope budgeting method. It lets users divide available money into virtual envelopes for spending, saving, and giving, replacing paper envelopes, worksheets, or spreadsheets with software that syncs across devices. Budgets can be shared with family and friends, and the service supports debt tracking and saving for larger expenses.

The product runs on the web, Android, and iPhone. Core capabilities include regular and "more" envelopes, accounts, checkbook reconciliation, recurring transactions, and debt tracking. Premium adds automatic bank synchronization for U.S. banks, unlimited envelopes and accounts, a longer transaction history, and email support. Goodbudget began in 2009 as an experiment by Dayspring Technologies, a San Francisco web and mobile development firm, and was originally called EEBA (Easy Envelope Budget Aid).

Goodbudget is intended for individuals and households managing everyday finances together. It is available in a free plan with limited envelopes, one account, two devices, and one year of history, plus a Premium edition with expanded limits, automatic bank sync, and email support.
