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?

Every dollar you earn should have a job before the month begins. 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.
