Announcing JABA

Announcements Jan 30, 2026 1 min read

We have been heads-down building for a while now, and today we are finally ready to say it out loud: JABA is a zero-based budgeting app coming to iPhone, iPad, and Mac this fall.

Why another budgeting app?

You only plan with money already in your accounts. That is the core idea behind zero-based budgeting, and it is the most effective system we know of for actually moving money toward the things that matter. The problem is that the best-known apps for this approach are either expensive, complicated, or both.

JABA is our answer to that. A focused, native Apple experience — no subscriptions, no clutter, no learning curve you have to fight through.

What to expect

Over the coming months we will be sharing regular updates here in the journal — behind-the-scenes dev progress, how-to guides, budgeting tips, and more. If you want to be first in line when we launch, join the waitlist.

We are genuinely excited about this one. More soon.
