Most budgets fail because they ask too much.
We built Weekly to replace the dozen-category spreadsheet with a single number you can actually stick to.
Hey! We're Drew and Dan.
We're the co-founders of Weekly. We're on a mission to help people succeed at budgeting — and picking a budgeting app is more than picking a tool, it's picking a philosophy of budgeting. That's why we scratched the traditional monthly-category approach and started over with a human-first one.
Weekly was first invented by Dan, after trying every budgeting tool on the market with his wife Anna, with pathetic results. Dan has a degree in accounting and a good head for numbers, but he realized budgets are about people more than they're about numbers — and people don't think in months, they think in weeks. So Dan and Anna started tracking their spending a week at a time instead, averaging income and fixed costs like rent into a weekly amount, down to one number to stay under: their Safe-to-Spend. It worked immediately. Soon after, Dan showed the idea to Drew, and the two of us partnered up to bring Weekly to the App Store in November 2019. That's still the whole idea today: track one number, not a dozen categories.
