Switching from Goodbudget

But then you hit a wall:

Your partner uses a different phone OS — one Android, one iPhone — and the sync was spotty.
You wanted to see your account balance alongside your envelopes, and the app didn't connect them.
You asked Goodbudget questions — “Are we on track? Should we adjust?” — and realized you were just talking to numbers, not a coach.
You wanted to plan multiple months ahead, and it wasn't really built for that.

What we do like Goodbudget.

The simplicity you came for is the simplicity we kept.

Manual-first. Like Goodbudget, the practice is logging your own transactions, not watching a feed roll in. (Behind after a busy week? Una+ sends Norman to pull your recent transactions on a tap — you check off what's real.)

Simple, not complicated. No methodology police, no four rules to memorize. Just: here's your money, here's where it goes.

Multiple household members. Both partners can log transactions and see what's happening.

Here's what's different.

Same envelope-simple feel. A coach inside it, and planning that looks past this month.

You loved the envelopes. You just wanted them to talk back.
