Because we don't think the basics should cost a monthly subscription.
Zero-based budgeting is a method. It works on paper, in spreadsheets, in apps. But every digital version makes you sign up + opt-in to email lists + sometimes pay a monthly subscription for the privilege of giving every dollar a job.
So we built Paycheck Budget Planner Lite. Free. Categorize your spending. Track transactions. Done.
The Pro version exists for people who want smart paycheck distribution (one-tap), per-paycheck bill assignment (so you always know which paycheck covers rent), savings goals with progress rings, insights dashboards, and the 12-chapter video tutorial. That's optional.
Your paycheck details live on your device. We never see them. We don't need to. That's the whole point.
