## What is HamsterFi?

Take control of your household budget with HamsterFi — the budgeting app designed for modern families.

SIMPLE BUDGETING WITH JARS
Allocate your income into digital jars — Groceries, Gas, Entertainment, and more. Spend from each jar and always know exactly how much you have left. (It's envelope budgeting, reimagined as simple jars.)

BUILT FOR HOUSEHOLDS
Share budgets with your partner or family. See everyone's spending in one place with a shared household view.

TRACK EVERY DOLLAR
• Set per-period budgets for each jar
• Log spending instantly with Quick Spend
• Transfer funds between jars when plans change
• Track recurring payments for rent, utilities, and subscriptions

STAY ON PACE
A real-time progress bar shows how your spending compares to where you should be in the period — never overspend again.

FLEXIBLE BUDGET PERIODS
Choose weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly budget periods. HamsterFi automatically rolls over to a new period and funds your jars.

SMART RECURRING PAYMENTS
Add bills and subscriptions once. HamsterFi automatically applies them to the right jar every period.

HamsterFi Pro is an optional auto-renewable subscription ($7.99/month or $59.99/year) that unlocks unlimited jars and household members.

Budget like a pro. Spend with confidence.
