Overview

Limits fail when they are set from hope. A limit you can keep comes from what you actually spend, allows for the weeks that are not average, and has a plan for the month it breaks.

Key Capabilities
Realistic, flexible, and forgiving.

Finos sets limits with your history in view and tells you, mid-month, how the pace compares, so a miss is caught at day twelve rather than day thirty.

Limits from history

Each category opens at your three-month average; tighten it by a little, not a lot.

A pace line

How much of the limit you should have used by today, shown beside what you have.

A soft landing

When a category goes over, Finos suggests where next month can make it up.

Setup Instructions

Begin with the two categories that vary most. Fixed costs do not need limits; they need a calendar.

01 — Choose two categories

Usually food and going out; they move the most.

02 — Set the limit

Start at the average and lower it by ten percent.

03 — Check the pace

Finos nudges you when the pace line is crossed, not after the month ends.

Security & Privacy

Spending data is read from your accounts over encrypted connections and is never shared with third parties. Limits and alerts are yours alone unless you share the workspace.
