About You Need A Budget
YNAB (You Need A Budget) is a zero-based budgeting app that requires users to assign every dollar a job before it is spent. It links to bank accounts via Plaid for automatic transaction import across US, Canadian, and UK banks. The YNAB API (api.youneedabudget.com) is a REST API allowing developers to read and write budget data programmatically. It is primarily a personal finance tool, though small business owners also use it for expense discipline.
