How BudgetFlow works, step by step

Sign up with an email and password, or continue with Google in one click. There is no credit card field anywhere in the sign-up flow, and no trial period that quietly ends. As soon as you have an account, every tool is unlocked, not a limited preview of it.

• Google sign-in uses your existing Google account, no new password to remember
• Email sign-up needs just a name, email, and password
• You land straight on your dashboard, not a paywall or a plan-selection screen

This is the step that determines whether the dashboard becomes useful or stays empty. BudgetFlow does not pre-fill anything with placeholder numbers, so what you see is only as accurate as what you have entered. Most people start with whichever of these is most pressing.

• Add each property you pay rent on, with its landlord and due day, under Rent Tracking
• Log your income, either manually by category or by uploading a payslip so the amount fills in for you
• Set up a Savings Plan if you run or belong to a chama or other group savings arrangement
• Record any money you have lent out, so it stops living only in your memory
• Assign a monthly budget to the spending categories that matter to you

Once your rent, income, and expenses are in, the dashboard becomes a single place to see where you stand: what is due soon, how much of your income is already committed, and whether this month is on track compared to your budget. The analytics view goes a step further, showing your burn rate and a projection for next month based on your recent pattern.

• Rent and bills due in the next few days surface automatically, so nothing arrives as a surprise
• The remaining-balance figure updates as you log income and expenses, not once a month
• Analytics shows a six-month trend, so a bad month is visible as a blip, not a mystery
