A purpose-built budgeting app that's simple and fast.

Ranger is simple to use, shows you your money in an organized way, and helps you categorize all your transactions easily. We tried all the popular budgeting apps, and then built the one we actually wanted to use.

This budgeting software is a game changer! By pulling numbers directly from credit card and bank account balances, it ensures unmatched accuracy without the hassle of manual entry.

- Deb

My wife and I love the app and are excited to see more functionality added over time. It just makes sense.

Features that help you spend less time budgeting.

Categorize, budget, review, repeat - quickly and easily. We think the best budgeting app is the one that helps you understand where your money is, but without all the hassle of using a spreadsheet to get there.

Our Story

"What if there was a budgeting app we actually liked using?"

"What if we built it ourselves?"

- Joe & Kaitie (Co-founders of Ranger) in 2023

Joe & Kaitie (Co-founders of Ranger)

In 2023, our small team wrote down this mission: Empower people to have a healthy relationship with their finances, free from fear-based decision making.

We're firm believers that the best decisions in life are ones made free from fear. Of all the budgeting apps we've used over the years, none struck the right balance of friendly, realistic, and easy to use. We started building Ranger because we wanted a budgeting app that was right not only for us, but also the many friends and family we'd seen struggle with finances over the years. A tool where we could push boundaries and build off of sound fundamentals.

We don't have any funding, we don't have any brand deals, we aren't trying to take over the world - we just want to build a tool to help people.

We're thankful to have a community of users who've found Ranger helpful. We'd love for you to join that community!

A budgeting method that works.

We use proven budgeting principles to help you get started and stay on track. You control all of your money, down to the last cent. Want to learn more? Check out our guides!
