Safe to spend
Start with the balances you include, then reserve upcoming bills, goal contributions, and remaining budget commitments to estimate what is available.
From detailed transactions to safe-to-spend planning and a private monthly review, Sumstead turns everyday tracking into a clearer view of what comes next.
The newest tools work together: scheduled activity informs your safe-to-spend estimate, richer records improve your reports, and automation handles the repetitive parts.
Start with the balances you include, then reserve upcoming bills, goal contributions, and remaining budget commitments to estimate what is available.
Look ahead to scheduled income, expenses, subscriptions, and transfers. Recurring items can post automatically or wait for your approval.
Allocate a purchase across categories, organize it with tags, and connect refunds back to the original spending for cleaner totals.
Work through a statement, mark matching activity as cleared, and finish with a visible adjustment only when the recorded balance needs one.
Apply repeatable actions from transaction conditions and reuse complete budget setups instead of rebuilding them month by month.
Revisit income, spending, category changes, budgets, goals, subscriptions, and net-worth movement in a durable month-end summary.

Your records are useful only if they remain accessible on your terms. Sumstead protects local data, lets you hide especially sensitive accounts, and keeps transfer tools available.
Capture documents or import photos, then confirm merchant, date, total, tax, account, and category before saving.
Keep selected accounts out of totals, forecasts, reviews, widgets, exports, search, and shortcuts until you reveal them for the session.

CSV import and export plus password-protected encrypted backup and restore remain part of the free core.
Choose encrypted iCloud Sync for your own Apple devices. It stays off until you enable it.
