Know what's safe to spend, today.
Canny is a budgeting app that gives you one honest number instead of a wall of spreadsheet rows — how much you can spend today without wrecking the rest of your pay period. Everything lives on your phone. No bank linking, no cloud, no account.
Free · nothing ever leaves your device
Three screens, no ritual.
Set your paycheck and category budgets once. From then on, Canny does the arithmetic — you just look at one number before you decide whether to buy something.
Set your budget
Tell Canny your pay schedule and split your budget into categories — groceries, transport, whatever matters to you. Takes about a minute.
Log as you go
Add a transaction in a couple of taps. A weekly review queue makes sure nothing slips through uncategorized.
Check one number
The home screen distills everything into "safe to spend today" — colour-coded, so you know your budget health at a glance, not after doing maths.
There isn't one.
Every other budgeting app we looked at monetises somehow — a subscription, a paywalled free tier, or your bank data handed to a third party to make it "free." Canny doesn't do any of that.
Every category, every goal, unlimited transactions. Not a trial. Nothing to unlock.
No sign-up, no email, no password. Open the app and start.
No Plaid, no third party reading your transactions. You type it, it stays here.
Most budget apps show you the past.
Canny tells you what to do today.
A list of last month's transactions doesn't answer the question you actually have standing in a shop: can I afford this right now? Canny answers it directly.
Typical budget app
- A long list of categories and percentages you have to interpret yourself
- Requires linking your bank account to a third-party server
- Free tier gated behind ads or a paid subscription
- Progress bars that just say "72% used" with no sense of pace
Canny
- One number: what's safe to spend today, colour-coded by health
- Fully offline — no bank linking, no account, no server at all
