Great app for seeing the bigger picture
I've been currently doing zero-based budgeting. I couldn't quite figure out how to do that with True North, but I have really like seeing the overall picture of our finances. It's also a great debt pay down tool. The budgeting part of it also makes a great bill tracker, because as you pay your bills you can check them off. I have been running it along with my zero-based budgeting app and it's been great! Also, I really love the color schemes used, it makes it more fun to do finances.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this - we really appreciate it. It’s great to hear how you’re using True North alongside your zero-based budgeting approach. While it isn’t built around a strict method, it does loosely follow a 50/30/20 structure - so we’re really glad it still gives you that clear, bigger-picture view of your finances. That sense of visibility and understanding is exactly what we aim to provide. We also love hearing that it’s helping as a bill tracker and debt payoff tool. Being able to see what’s due and check things off as you go is a small thing, but it can make everything feel a lot more manageable. It’s one of our favorite parts too. And your note about the colors made us smile. Making finances feel a little lighter - without losing clarity - was something we spent a lot of time thinking about. Thanks again for sharing your experience with us.
