Roll with the punches? Of course we do. But judgy looks from an underfunded category we chose to deprioritize? How rude.

Introducing: Target Snooze ⏰

When your priorities shift, now you can hit Snooze on any Target to stop underfunded alerts for the rest of the current month. When next month starts, your Target will automatically wake up, refreshed and with an adorable bedhead.

The Sanest Way Ever to Use Credit Cards

A screenshot of the Credit Card Insights card in the YNAB mobile app

Imagine if you could use credit cards for all the good things—points, hotel stays, ham and cheese croissants at the Delta lounge—without the bad things like debt, stress, and shuffling money at the last minute to pay your statement.

YNAB has created the simplest, most effective system for keeping you and your credit card spending on track. Our promise is that we'll let you know if there isn't enough cash on hand to pay off your total card balance. We'll either show you how to fund that spending right then, or help you make a plan to pay it off over time.

So keep earning perks, protecting your purchases, and save the drama for your next points-fueled trip to Broadway.

Categorizing Purchases from Major Retailers Just Got Easier

A screenshot of the Bank Import Details in the YNAB web app

Tired of doing detective work for every dollar spent at big-box stores and major retailers? Stop combing through Costco receipts or grilling your loved one about everything in that Amazon package.

Now, for several major retailers, you’ll see a handy dandy link to your order history in the Bank Import Details (which you can find by clicking the Information icon next to a payee name in the Edit Payee dropdown menu). The link takes you directly to Amazon, Walmart, and others, so you can see what you bought  and easily split transactions on shopping trips that include a bit of everything.

Introducing: Focused Views!

Focused Views allow you to see categories together that share a common theme, but that aren't necessarily nested within the same category group.

Have you ever wanted to see all your home categories together? But utilities are under Immediate Obligations and saving for a new roof is under True Expenses and a new pool is in your Wish Farm?  Maybe you want to see Underfunded categories to make moving money easier? Or just the categories you share with your partner for a quick money night date?

With just a click, you can zoom in on the categories that matter to you most in the moment. Customize your views and organize in ways that align with your priorities!
