How it works

From scattered to steered

Three steps, about five minutes, and you'll have a clear view of where your money is — and where it's headed.

Step 1

Connect accounts

Securely link banks, cards, loans and investments with read-only access. Takes about two minutes.

  • Pick your bank from 12,000+ institutions
  • Sign in through a secure, encrypted connection
  • We get read-only access — never the ability to move money
  • Balances and transactions sync automatically

Step 2

Set your mission

Choose who you're planning for, set goals and budgets, and get your first Fuel Gauge reading.

  • Tell us if it's just you, a partner, or a household
  • Set budgets by category, shared or personal
  • Create Launch Goals and get a projected arrival date
  • Get your first Fuel Gauge reading instantly

Step 3

Get timely texts

Pick the alerts you care about. We text you when something needs attention — never just to chat.

  • Choose which alerts you care about
  • Pick real-time, daily digest, or weekly
  • Set quiet hours so texts never wake you
  • Reply STOP anytime to opt out, HELP for help

Fuel Gauge explained

One number for your financial health

Your Fuel Gauge is a 0–100 score updated daily. It isn't a credit score and never touches your credit — it's a private reading to help you steer. Each factor comes with a specific tip to raise it.

Monthly debt payments compared to income, with extra weight on high-APR balances.
Emergency cushion25%
How many months of essential spending your liquid savings could cover.
Spending stability20%
How predictable your spending is month to month — fewer surprises scores higher.
  • Savings rate82
  • Debt load64
