QWhat is envelope budgeting?
AYou divide your income into categories (“envelopes”) like groceries or rent. You spend from each envelope until it’s empty, which makes it easy to know what’s left.

ANo. Linking saves you typing, but you can add transactions by hand and link a bank later if you change your mind.
QIs the Free plan really free?
AYes. The Free plan costs $0, has no time limit, and doesn’t ask for a card. Its limits are listed in the comparison table above.

ATally runs on iOS, Android and in any modern web browser. One account works on all of them, and changes sync between devices.
QHow does the Family plan work?
