The Beginning
What started in a small office in Mỹ Tho wasn't exactly planned. Three finance graduates found themselves frustrated with bloated budgeting apps that seemed designed to confuse rather than clarify. We'd spend more time navigating features than actually managing money.
The idea was simple – what if budgeting could be as straightforward as writing in a notebook, but with the power of digital tracking? Our first prototype literally looked like a digital notebook. Users could input expenses without dropdown menus, categories, or complicated setup processes.
