> Budgeting for entrepreneurs who loathe spreadsheets

I get this is app not supposed to GAAP compliant, but it still bothers me that in one of the screenshots[1] "accounts" (presumably what you have in your bank accounts today) counts as "income".

I think this looks novel and interesting, but I’d recommend putting really screenshots/animated gifs of the product on your landing page, highlighting use cases. I want to see the product before signing up.

This a pretty neat and if I ever go past a sole proprietor LLC it's something I would be very interested in.

Currently I just have a YNAB budget (personal and business co-mingled) and that does a decent job of tracking what I need. Initially I tracked my business in a separate YNAB budget but that was a pain to manage and since for tax reasons it doesn't matter I just shoved it all together. I maintain a spreadsheet with my business income/expenses so that come tax time I can do my deductions easily which this tool might help with but unless I want to separate my finances (I don't right now) it's not worth the double-input.

I gamified my debt repayment with a popular free online financial service that has a net worth chart that shows assets, debt, and a net worth trend. Getting those red lines below the line to go up was a huge motivator for me and even if my debt wasn't at zero, seeing it tic up over time was rewarding. slowly but surely, I did it. That one feature is a major make or break feature imo.
