Sinking Funds Tracker

Save toward multiple goals at once without losing track of any of them.

Most budgeting tools handle one number — what you spend. They don't have a good way to track money you're deliberately setting aside for something specific: an emergency fund, a wedding, next year's holiday gifts. Those goals end up scattered across sticky notes, a notes app, or just vague mental math.
  • Track each goal separately, with its own target and deadline.
    Lumping savings together hides which goals are actually on pace.
  • See status at a glance, not just a balance.
    Complete, On track, Close, or Behind tells you more than a raw number does.
  • Log contributions as they happen.
    A running balance beats reconstructing totals from memory.
We built a full tracker around this — automatic status tracking, monthly planned-vs-actual, and a reconciliation check against your actual accounts.

A sinking fund tracker organizes money you're saving gradually for a specific future expense — an emergency fund, a wedding, next year's holiday gifts — instead of lumping all your savings into one account with no clear purpose attached to any of it.

Yes. Funds Setup includes blank pre-formatted rows ready to go beyond the 15 samples, and you can add more using the same format any time.

No. Nothing depends on daily entry — log your transactions whenever you're ready, and the running balances catch up automatically based on the dates you enter.

Yes. Settings has an editable category list, so you can adjust or add categories to match how you actually think about your goals.
