One balance. Room for everything.
Your bank balance tells you what you have. Your Jars help you see what it all needs to do. Give rent, groceries, weekend plans, and everything in between their own place in your budget.
All Jelli featuresYour money, with purpose.
A single balance can be surprisingly unhelpful. Some of those dollars have already been promised to rent. Some are for groceries. And yes... some can be for the good stuff.
JelliJARS are virtual budget categories that give those plans a name, a color, and a clearer picture. Your actual money stays in your bank account.
The Jar is the plan. Your bank remains the bank.
Not everyone needs the same Jars.
Create Jars around your actual life. Give them names that make sense to you, choose from Jelli’s colors, set monthly budgets, and add goals where useful.
Lids can help limit allocations to a Jar’s budget; amounts above that limit can be routed to Spare Change. Your priorities don’t have to be somebody else’s spreadsheet.
Uneven deposits. Steady priorities.
Split by Budget uses your budget percentages to preview how an eligible deposit could be assigned across your Jars. Review the proposal, make adjustments when you want, and confirm the allocation.
No payroll split, transfer, or extra bank account is involved. You’re deciding how to account for money already in your bank.

When a purchase is on the horizon, check the relevant Jar instead of doing the mental subtraction dance. As transactions post, Jelli helps you keep the picture organized.
The goal isn’t to say no to everything. It’s to know what saying yes means.
