Product Mechanics

How envelope budgeting actually keeps you honest.

Spreadsheets break when transfers occur, and retro trackers tell you what you lost after it is gone. Mora operates on strict cash invariants.

Spend only the cash in your accounts

Mora does not budget future paychecks or hypothetical earnings. Your Left to Budget pool equals the real cleared balance of your depository accounts. When you assign cash to an envelope, it remains backed by actual currency.

Main Checking$3,840.00
Emergency Savings$440.00
Available Cash Pool$4,280.00

Know if bills are funded before due date

Every scheduled payment links directly to its category envelope. Live status pills calculate whether your current envelope balance covers the upcoming charge or if you need to add funds.

Separate spending cash from net worth

Checking and credit accounts feed your daily spending pool. Brokerage accounts, retirement holdings, and mortgages stay in Tracking mode: they record net worth progress without inflating spendable grocery money.

Two-click move money and split register

Priorities change mid-month. When dining out exceeds its target, transfer $30 from entertainment in two clicks without touching your checking balance. Split receipts across multiple categories with zero-remainder math.
