  • 02A January credit card bill you didn't see coming
  • 03Missing the last shipping date
  • 04Hosting with no plan for the menu
  • 05Lists scattered across notes, apps and screenshots
  • 06Never knowing what to do next

Questions

Good to know.

Is this a physical planner?

No. It's a digital download. You get four PDF files right after purchase, ready to use on a tablet or print at home or at a print shop.

Can I use it on my iPad?

Yes. Import the PDF into GoodNotes, Notability or any PDF app. The tabs at the top of every page and the items on the index are clickable.

How do the bonus tools work?

The budget and menu pages have a QR code. Scan it with your phone camera, or tap the link in the PDF, and the tool opens in your browser. There's nothing to install and no account to make.

Is my budget data private?

Yes. The calculator saves only on your own device. Nothing you type is sent to us. You can copy a backup if you want to move it to another device.

I'm not in the US. Will it work for me?

Yes. There's an A4 version, and the calculator lets you pick your currency.

Can I print it more than once?

Yes, print as many copies as you need for your own household. Please don't share or resell the files.
