An Android app.

Which one

Pick the one that fits how you actually bank.

Questions

Straight answers.

Does Fimerse do zero-based budgeting?

No. Fimerse has category budgets and savings goals, but it does not ask you to assign every unit of money. If the YNAB method is what you want, YNAB is the better tool.

Can I bring my YNAB history?

Yes. Export your register as CSV and import the file. Fimerse sorts each line and queues anything unsure for review.

Is there an Android app?

Not yet. Fimerse is on the web and iPhone today.

A YNAB alternative without the method, and without the bank login.
