Back in Black
Get out of debt.
Stay out.

A budget tool that respects your intelligence. Real payoff math against your real accounts, no gamification, no made-up numbers to make the pitch sound better, and just the right amount of shame.

What it actually does

Not another envelope app.

The burn-down

A real payoff simulation against your real balances. Move a payment number and watch the date move with it.

Every account, one place

Connect a bank through Plaid or import a CSV by hand. No spreadsheet gymnastics, no double entry.

Receipt Debt Insight

Snap a receipt at checkout. See what was essential and what wasn’t, and what redirecting the flagged part would do to your payoff date.

Honest analysis

A spending breakdown computed from your own transactions. Nothing here is illustrative.
