Install YNAB
YNAB runs completely offline as locally installed software on your computer and doesn't need an Internet connection to run - except to utilize Cloud Sync.
If you already have the trial installed you don't have to re-install the software if you just purchased it. By default all copies of YNAB download as a trial and you only need to paste in your key to remove the time limitation. It also works worldwide. Learn about YNAB's pricing policy.
How does the trial work?
The trial is completely full featured and is only limited by time. It will Cloud Sync with your YNAB mobile app as well as other computers where the trial has been installed.
