Every budgeting app seems to start the same way: ‘Enter your monthly income.’ And you stare at the screen, unsure what number to put. Do you enter gross pay? Net pay? What about the irregular consulting payment you got last month? What if your income changes?
It feels like a trick question. And when you enter the wrong number — which most people do — the whole budget is wrong from the start.
Jelli Skips the Income Entry
Here’s what makes Jelli genuinely different: it doesn’t ask you how much you make. Instead, it watches what you actually deposit.
Connect your bank account, and Jelli’s AI reads 12 months of your real deposit history to understand your income patterns. It builds your budget based on your actual spending — not from a number you typed into a form.
“No income field. No gross-vs-net confusion. No guessing. Jelli reads your deposits and allocates based on what’s actually in your account.”
Paycheck Splitting Is Automatic
When a deposit hits your bank account, Jelli detects it and prompts you with ‘Split by Budget.’ One tap, and the funds are distributed across your JelliJARS based on your budget percentages. It doesn’t matter how much the deposit is — the same percentage split applies every time.
Paid monthly? One split. Paid bi-weekly? Two splits that together fill your Jars. Paid weekly? Four proportional splits. The math is always right because Jelli does it for you.
JJ Walks You Through It
First time setting up? JJ is right there. He explains what each Jar is for, walks you through reviewing your AI-generated budget, and makes sure you understand what’s happening before you go live. He’s patient, direct, and genuinely good at this.
Income confusion shouldn’t stop you from budgeting. Jelli removes the income guessing game entirely — and replaces it with a system that works from your actual deposit history.
Jelli — Live in the App Store. Starting at $3.99/month with the first month free.
