Instead of drowning in transactions, Financey lets you organize your money into Buckets โ€” containers like Housing, Food, Emergency Fund, or whatever fits your life. Every dollar you earn or spend flows through a bucket, so you always know exactly where your money stands. What you can do with Financey: โ€ข Create Buckets โ€” build your own financial system with custom names, icons, and colors. Set target balances and watch your progress grow. โ€ข Log Transactions โ€” quickly record income, expenses, transfers between buckets, refunds, and adjustments. Your ledger stays clean and organized. โ€ข Set Savings Goals โ€” define goals with deadlines and link them to buckets so progress tracks automatically. Whether it's a vacation, an emergency fund, or a new car โ€” stay on track. โ€ข Track Your Financial Health โ€” Financey calculates a Financial Health Score based on your savings rate, emergency fund, and goal progress. Know at a glance how you're really doing. โ€ข AI Financial Coach (Premium) โ€” ask your coach anything: "Can I afford this?", "Where am I overspending?", "How long until I reach my goal?" Get answers grounded in your actual data. โ€ข Advanced Insights (Premium) โ€” visualize monthly income vs. expenses and see a full breakdown of spending by bucket category. โ€ข Export Your Data (Premium) โ€” generate PDF financial reports, and keep a backup of your financial history. Unlock Premium for unlimited buckets, transactions, and goals. With Premium get AI-powered financial coaching, advanced insights and analytics, and export PDF reports.
