A simple cashflow budgeting app that shows you how much you can safely spend. Instead of starting over every month, Taproot gives you a clear timeline of your income, bills, subscriptions, and planned spending. See what’s coming, understand what needs to be covered, and know what money is truly available. No complicated categories. No mental math. No guesswork. Just a clear picture of your money. KNOW WHAT YOU CAN SAFELY SPEND Taproot looks ahead at your upcoming bills and income to calculate your Safe Balance: the amount of money you need to keep available to cover what's coming up. Everything above that is Extra Money you can decide to spend, save, or invest. SET IT UP ONCE Add your recurring income, bills, transfers, and planned spending. Tell Taproot when and how often they happen, and your financial timeline stays up to date. BUDGET TOGETHER Share a budget with a partner, roommate, or anyone else managing money with you. Keep your finances organized without having to piece everything together. Or keep your budget private. TRACK CREDIT CARD SPENDING Account for spending and bills that you typically pay with a credit card and see how it impacts your overall cashflow. UNDERSTAND YOUR MONEY Use analytics to see where your money goes, forecast your future cashflow, and understand how your spending changes over time. BUILT FOR CLARITY Taproot is designed to make budgeting feel less like a chore. No ads. No complicated budgeting system. Just a better way to understand what money is available and what you can safely spend. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS We built Taproot to help you take control of your money and bring more clarity to your financial life. For that reason, we will never interrupt your experience with ads.
