About this app

A MODERN WAY TO BUDGET

How do you know if you can afford something?

Do you just look at your bank account balance and hope it's enough?

Jars Budgets answers that question using the power of envelope budgeting. It lets you break your bank accounts into small, purposeful containers of money—known as Jars! With an unlimited number of bank connections and unlimited number of Jars, you can know exactly how much money you have for each purpose. If you ever find yourself short in one Jar, you'll immediately know what will be impacted by overspending.

Simple. Smart. Secure.

Forget complex spreadsheets and manual data entry. Jars connects to all of your bank accounts, allowing you to automatically download your daily transactions. When you're ready to assign them to your Jars, the app learns your habits and makes smart suggestions, so you can finish in seconds.

And don't worry! Jars uses industry-leading, private, and secure means of connecting to your accounts. Your bank login credentials are never seen or stored by Jars. We use end-to-end encryption and the best protections from Plaid to ensure your data remains safe and private.

Jars also understands not everyone wants to connect their bank accounts. You can still get the full benefits of Jars by easily creating manual accounts that remain disconnected from the bank.

POWERFUL, FLEXIBLE FEATURES

• All Accounts, One Place

Unlike banks that offer sub-account features, Jars works with all of your accounts to give you a unified view of your money.

• Smart Automation

Our powerful Paycheck Plans let you automate routine deposits into your Jars, saving you time and ensuring your savings goals are always on track.

• Built for Collaboration

A single Jars membership covers the whole family. Budgeting should be a collaborative effort, and our shared accounts make it easy.

• Teach Financial Literacy to the Kids

Give your kids a safe, limited view of their own finances with a dedicated Junior Accounts. It's the perfect way to teach financial responsibility early.
