Meet PFM

Everything you need to take control

PFM is a personal finance app built around envelope budgeting — the method where every dollar gets assigned a purpose. Add your accounts, categorize your spending, set goals, and let smart insights surface what matters most. All in one clean, private dashboard.

Envelope Budgeting

Assign every dollar a purpose

The envelope method is simple: give every dollar a job before you spend it. Create category groups, allocate monthly budgets, and carry forward what you don't use.

  • Envelope categories — group related spending so you see real patterns, not noise.
  • Monthly allocations — assign budgets up front; adjust them as life changes.
  • Carry forward — unspent dollars roll into next month. Overspent? Move funds across envelopes.

Transactions

All your transactions, one organized view

Income, expenses, and transfers — all in one unified list. Categorize each entry, add notes, and filter by date, type, or account.

  • Unified inbox — every account, one consistent list. No tab-switching.
  • Inline categorization — assign envelopes from the row. Bulk-edit when imports get noisy.
  • Powerful filters — slice by date, type, account, merchant, amount range.

Goals

Save with purpose, not hope

Set savings targets for the things that matter — an emergency fund, a vacation, a new car. Link goals to real accounts, contribute at your own pace, and watch progress fill up.

  • Linked to real accounts — goal balances update automatically as you save.
  • Pace tracking — see if you're on schedule for your target date.
  • Auto-contributions — schedule transfers and let the goal fund itself.
