Features & Capabilities

Cents for YNAB is a companion app to the You Need A Budget platform. Cents enables you to quickly analyze your budgets and spending habits in order to help you save more money. Cents will tell you how much money you have left per day of the month, which payees you've spent the most money on in each category, and which transactions have caused you the most trouble. It will indicate by color the health of each of your categories and warn you when you're getting close to going over budget.

Cents also provides several analytical charts to help you visualize where your money is going.

With the new widget, it’s such an easy way to see my YNAB categories. I love that it has a visual bar/circle representation of how much money I have left for the month (which YNAB doesn’t)!
