What did you spend this month? Cashews answers that in 10 seconds. Connect your bank accounts and credit cards, and Cashews shows you one number: Spent So Far. It's the simplest way to stay on top of your money, whether you budget or not. WHAT MAKES CASHEWS DIFFERENT Most finance apps make tracking your spending feel like homework. Cashews takes a different approach. Connect your accounts, see what you've spent, categorize with a swipe. Need, Want, or Other. Done. You get the clarity of knowing where your money goes without the effort of maintaining a traditional budget. And if you want more detail, custom categories let you go deeper. IT PAYS FOR ITSELF Cashews automatically detects every recurring charge across all your accounts. Subscriptions you forgot about, bills you didn't realize were still running, annual renewals you missed. Most people find more in forgotten charges than Cashews costs. HOW IT WORKS 1. Connect your banks and credit cards (12,500+ US institutions supported). 2. See your Spent So Far number, updated daily across all accounts. 3. Swipe to categorize your transactions in seconds. 4. See every recurring charge, cashflow trend, and credit card balance in Insights. HOUSEHOLD SHARING (NEW) Your partner's credit cards, your checking account, that joint savings. Now everyone sees the same number. Invite your financial plus one and get a complete picture of your household's spending. One price covers everyone. KEY FEATURES - Spent So Far: one number, all accounts, updated daily - Household Sharing: invite your partner or family - Simple categorization: Need, Want, Other (or custom categories) - Recurring charge detection with payment reminders - "Can I Afford It?" spending confidence check - Credit card utilization tracking - Cashflow trends: month over month, year over year - Smart notifications: unusual activity, upcoming bills, missed payments - 12,500+ US banks and credit cards supported - Bank-level encryption via Plaid.
