💰 Money Coming From Everywhere? The Lid Feature Has You

The challenge with multiple income streams isn’t just the variety — it’s the timing. A freelance payment might land Tuesday. A side gig payout on Thursday. A regular paycheck on the 15th. Traditional apps make you manually figure out how to split each of those and update your budget accordingly. It’s exhausting.


Regardless of where the money comes from or how much it is, every deposit triggers the same clean process in Jelli: one tap on ‘Split by Budget,’ and the funds are automatically distributed across your JelliJARS based on your budget percentages.

“A $340 gig deposit gets split the exact same way a $2,000 paycheck does. Your percentages are locked in — Jelli just does the math every single time.”


On a big income month, some of your Jars might fill up faster than expected. The Lid Feature caps each Jar at its budget limit. Any overflow from a capped Jar automatically flows into your Spare Change Jar — building a cushion for slower months without any extra effort from you.

On a lean month, smaller deposits still get split proportionally. Jelli doesn’t break or require reconfiguration. It just handles whatever comes in.


JJ — Jelli’s AI companion — can flag shortfalls before they happen, analyze whether a slow week is going to catch up with your Rent Jar, and give you a straight answer when you ask ‘am I okay this month?’ No jargon. No lectures. Just honest, friendly guidance.
