Your money has a rhythm
Forktail follows the movement.
You stop managing the math.
Most budgets freeze a month into boxes. Forktail watches what actually changes—income, bills, flexible spending, and goals—then recalculates the room you have left.
Priorities are protected
Bills, responsibilities, and goals are set aside first.
Spending moves
Your flexible room updates as transactions settle.
Forktail tells you what changed
You get the next useful action—not a wall of charts.

A few honest answers
Before you join.
Is Forktail a budgeting app?
Forktail can organize spending and plans, but the core experience is different: it protects upcoming responsibilities and shows what is safe to spend now. You can still inspect categories without having to manage dozens of rigid category limits.
Does Forktail move my money?
No. Forktail is an informational and planning tool. It reads the account data you authorize but does not initiate bank transfers, trades, or payments.
How does Forktail connect to accounts?
Forktail currently uses Plaid and is adding direct institution access through Akoya. The provider or financial institution handles the sign-in experience; Forktail does not store your bank username or password.
Is the Safe to Spend number a guarantee?
No. It is an estimate based on the latest available balances, transactions, due dates, plan assumptions, and the protection level you choose. You can review and edit the inputs, and should confirm time-sensitive balances with your financial institution.
