A step-by-step look at how the app works, from your first budget to your first shared win.
Download the app, enter your email and pick a password. Tell it a little about your income and goals so your first budget fits you.
Connect your bank cards and digital wallets. New purchases show up on their own and land in the right category.
The app suggests a monthly budget from your income, bills and goals. As you spend, it tracks every category and offers small adjustments. Nothing changes until you say yes.

Create a shared budget for your home, your relationship or a trip. Send an invite, and everyone can add expenses and see who paid for what.
Share wins and tips as posts, reels or stories, follow people with similar goals, and join budget challenges. You choose what's public, what's for friends, and what stays private.
Make things or resell? Add listings, manage orders and see your sales stats in the same app you budget in.
Get a heads-up before payments are due, when a category is close to its limit, and when a goal could use a little more.
The Joy Budget is coming soon to iPhone and Android. Join the waitlist and we'll email you the day it's available.
Your data is encrypted, never sold, and you control what's shared and with whom.
No. Your budget is private unless you choose to share it. Shared budgets are only visible to the people you invite, and you decide what goes in the feed.
Anyone you invite: a partner, family members, roommates or friends planning something together.
Yes. You can open a shop, list your products, handle orders and follow your sales.
We'd love to hear it. Send it through the contact page and choose “Suggestion”.
