already tracked it in YNAB?
Skip the guessing. Bring in your real numbers.
Connect read-only, see exactly what would come over, and decide what to keep. Nothing changes until you say so.
Connect, read-only
OAuth through YNAB — we never see your password, and read-only is the default. Disconnect any time.
Review before anything moves
Cards, savings, the mortgage, even your living costs — pick what to bring in. Nothing merges into your plan until you hit apply.
Refresh whenever
Budget moved since last time? Re-running the import is safe — it updates what changed and flags it, like living costs creeping up.
One optional extra: once connected, you can log a payment back to YNAB when you pay down a card. It's a convenience, not a requirement — YNAB stays the source of truth for your budget either way.
