Opening MyBudgetNerd…

Private by design

See where your money actually goes

Drop in a PDF statement — categorized spending, forecasts and an Excel export, in seconds. No bank login. Ever. Local-first. AI is optional.

One statement is enough to start.

What you get today

The core toolkit — ready the moment your first statement loads.

Smart categorization, on your terms
Apply rule-based categorization with one click — or refine with optional AI. You stay in control.
Oracle — forecasts & anomalies
See where cash flow is heading and get a heads-up on unusual activity.
Excel & CSV export
Take your data with you anytime — your transactions, your spreadsheet.

What it costs

The first 3 statements are free — no card, no trial clock. After that, Pro is $4.99 per month or $44.99 per year and removes the upload limit. Cancel anytime.

Common questions

Do I have to connect my bank account?
No. MyBudgetNerd reads statement PDFs that you upload yourself. There is no bank login, no credential sharing and no account linking of any kind.
Is the AI required?
No. Categorization runs on rules by default and works with the AI switched off. The AI pass is an optional second step you turn on yourself.
Where is my statement processed?
The PDF is parsed on our servers and then cleared. What the app keeps afterwards — your transactions and the forecasting history behind them — stays on your device.
Can I get my data back out?
Yes. Every transaction can be exported to Excel or CSV at any time, including on the free tier.
Where does it run?
In any modern browser at mybudgetnerd.com, and as a native app on iPhone.
