   It's a web application, it won't do you much good if you're offline unfortunately. That being said, our mobile app will be optimized for offline usage!

    Thanks for the feedback! Upcoming expenses is a great idea, and was an original feature from my own budgeting spreadsheet but has not made it as a feature yet on Lunch Money. Your comment definitely helps boost up its priority :)

    Thank you for the kind words! Lunch Money is definitely a different way of budgeting. I mentioned this in an earlier comment, but my target audience is more first-time budgeters. I know it would be an uphill battle to convert YNAB'ers

    Thank you so much!! 1. Right now I'm using Plaid to connect to bank accounts which currently only supports US and Canada-based banks (but even then, some banks are not supported fully). The next plan is to allow people to manually impo

    Did you make sure to put your own e-mail in the "to" field? The first time I used it, I CC'ed the right address and sent it to somebody but neglected to include my own e-mail.
