Plain-language answers to how every part of the app works. Can't find what you need? Ask us directly. It helps us know what to add here.
Finnari is a budgeting app built for people who've tried budgeting apps before and bounced off them. It pairs simple, visual budgeting with Finn, a companion who nudges you at the right moment instead of burying you in numbers.
No. You can add accounts manually and track spending yourself, or link a bank account so transactions come in automatically. Both work. Linking just saves you typing things in by hand.
Yes. Finnari has a free plan that covers the core budgeting features. Finnari Premium unlocks additional features for people who want more. Details are on the app's pricing screen.
Finnari is available on iOS and Android.
It's the amount you can genuinely spend right now without messing up your budget: your income, minus what's already set aside for bills and budgets, minus what you've spent so far. One number, always accurate, no mental math required.
You set a budget for each category (groceries, dining out, whatever matters to you), and Finnari tracks what you spend against it in real time with a simple progress bar. No spreadsheets.
Nothing punitive. Finn will let you know, calmly, and help you figure out what to do next, whether that's adjusting the budget or moving money from somewhere else. Finnari is built to never shame you for a rough week.
Yes. Leftover budget can roll into the next period depending on how you've set that category up, so a good month can cushion a harder one.
Goals are for anything you're saving toward or paying down: an emergency fund, a holiday, a credit card balance. Finnari tracks your progress and paces it out so the goal actually feels reachable.
Yes. Goals work for pay-down targets like credit cards or loans as well as save-up targets, with the same progress tracking either way.
You can move money into a goal manually, or tag transactions to it as you spend or save. Finnari keeps the goal's progress accurate either way.
Finn is Finnari's companion character, a fox who keeps half an eye on your budget so you don't have to check it constantly. Finn notices things like a bill coming up or a category running hot, and says something about it before it becomes a problem.
No, that's a deliberate design decision. Finn never lectures, never uses red "you failed" numbers, and never shames you. The goal is to help, the way a supportive friend would, not to guilt-trip you.
Yes, notification preferences are adjustable in Settings if you'd rather check in on your own schedule.
Yes. Bank connections go through Plaid, a banking-data provider used by thousands of financial apps. Your bank login never passes through Finnari or gets stored by us. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Yes. Manual accounts work fully alongside linked ones, so you're never forced to connect a bank if you'd rather not.
Yes, any time, from the Accounts screen. Your past transaction history stays in the app even after unlinking.
Subscriptions are managed through your Apple App Store or Google Play account settings, since that's who processes the payment. Cancelling there stops future renewals.
Refunds go through Apple's or Google's standard refund process, depending on where you subscribed.
No, never. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
You can export or delete your data from within the app at any time. If you need help, contact us and we'll take care of it.
