Everything a household's money needs
Track
Every account in one register, with splits, transfers and reconciliation, so your balances match the bank's.
Budget
Plan by category or give every dollar a job with envelopes. Switch any time without losing a thing.
Stay ahead
Bills on a calendar, alerts when something's off, and a "safe to spend" number that counts what's coming.
Share
One household, with shared and private accounts, roles for each person and a record of every change.
Two ways to budget, one set of numbers
Some people like a plan per category. Others give every dollar a job. Kemback does both, on the same transactions, and switching never writes over anything. New? Kemback can suggest a budget from what you actually spent.
- Category or envelope mode
- Rollover per category
- A budget suggested from your history

Bills that can't sneak up on you
Every bill and subscription on a calendar, matched to the payment when it arrives. When one costs more than usual, Kemback asks whether it's the same bill and shows you the increase. Recurring charges you didn't set up show their yearly cost.
- Bill calendar and "enter now"
- Notices when a bill goes up
- Alerts by email and on your iPhone

Questions
Is Kemback really free?
Yes. The Free plan is a complete product, not a trial: unlimited accounts and transactions, both budget styles, bills, reports, rules, file import and export. Plus adds automatic bank sync and more depth, but you never have to upgrade.
Can I bring my history from Quicken or Mint?
Yes. Export a QIF file from Quicken, or your transactions file from Mint, and Kemback brings across every account and transaction. From Quicken, every balance is checked against Quicken's to the cent.
Does Kemback connect to my bank?
Yes, with Plus: automatic bank sync connects through Plaid, with read-only access. On any plan you can import OFX, QFX, QIF and CSV files from any bank. Kemback never asks for or stores your bank password.
Can my partner use it too?
Yes. A household can share accounts and budgets, with roles for owners, editors and view-only members, and any account can stay private to you.
Where can I use it?
In any browser at kemback.com, and in the iPhone app (in beta). A Mac app is coming soon, and Android and Windows apps are in development.
Do you sell my data?
No. Kemback is paid for by its plans, not by selling your data or showing you financial product offers. You can export everything, any time.
