SlateSpend

A calm way to give every dollar a job

Project Vision

SlateSpend is a calm, zero-based budgeting app that replaces messy spreadsheets and stressful dashboards with a simple place to tell every dollar where to go. Built on the principle of giving every dollar a job, it's designed for clarity and consistency without the shame of traditional budgeting tools.
Habit Loop

How SlateSpend fits into your month

Three small habits that keep your budget calm and current.

Step 1

Set up your slate

Connect your real life, not your bank. Add your accounts, pick your categories, and decide how you want to budget.

You stay in control of what gets tracked.
Step 2

Give every dollar a job

When money comes in, assign it to categories. SlateSpend keeps a running 'To Be Budgeted' number so you always know what's left.

Zero feels good — and it's clear.
Step 3

Log spending in seconds

Each time you spend, pop open the quick add screen, choose the category, and you're done. No shame — just clarity.

Instantly updates available balances.

See your money on a clean slate

The interface is intentionally minimal: just your accounts, your categories, and a few numbers that actually matter. No ads, upsell pop-ups, or flashing widgets.
