Quick way to see my YNAB budget

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)!

Awesome!!!

Love this accompanying app for YNAB. My wife and I like to track our food spending and it’s hard to know how we are tracking during the month. This app helps us visualize our spending to see if we are on pace to stay within our budget.

A couple feature requests:

1) Adding a small vertical indicator on the horizontal bar to indicate if we are ahead or behind for the current day (mint has this indication on budget categories which I find very useful)

2) An Apple Watch complication would be great :)

Pretty good

I would like flexibility with the reports.
