What it costs, what it connects to and what happens to your data: the questions people ask before they start.
Couples and people who live together who want to plan and track money as a team. It also fits solo budgeters: freelancers on recibos verdes, people counting the days to payday, savers with a date, and anyone who would rather type an expense than connect a bank.
See who it is forIt's the one number Otterbond shows you when you open the app: your balance minus the bills still due before payday, the savings you've planned this cycle and any amount you keep aside, spread over the days until payday. It updates as you log expenses and as payday gets closer. Set your payday and confirm your balance to see it.
Because you don't need to hand anyone your bank login to know what you can spend. You log expenses yourself, which takes seconds, and Otterbond does the sums. There are no bank credentials to leak, no sync to break, and nothing nagging you to connect an account.
