Yearn is a budgeting app built for people whose income does not arrive on a fixed two-week schedule. Users assign bills and savings goals to envelopes, add due dates, and choose weekly, biweekly, twice-monthly, or monthly funding schedules. The app estimates how much each paycheck needs to set aside and shows a Free to Spend amount after bills and goals are funded. Transactions can be entered manually or imported from CSV, OFX, or QFX files; an optional Plaid connection provides read-only bank syncing. Yearn says it never moves money between accounts. A free plan is available, while paid plans have a 30-day trial. Users should review how linked financial information is handled before connecting an account.
