Welcome to CashCat
CashCat is a modern budgeting tool built for people who want to take control of their finances. We use zero-based budgeting, a proven method that helps you be intentional with every single purchase.CashCat is currently in early access for testers.
What is zero-based budgeting?
Zero-based budgeting means giving every penny a purpose. Instead of tracking where your money went, you decide where it will go before you spend it. At the start of each month, you assign all your income into categories until you reach zero unassigned dollars. This approach helps you:- Be intentional with every purchase
- Eliminate wasteful spending
- Reach your financial goals faster
- Feel in control of your money
Core principles
CashCat is built around these core principles:- Every penny has a purpose — assign all income into categories with clear intention
- Money you don’t spend rolls forward — seamlessly carry unspent amounts into future months
- Stay flexible — edit past transactions and have your entire budget auto-cascade
- Full control — no ads, no tracking, no monthly fee
