Switch
A calm, private home after Mint
If your old budget app shut down, the best replacement is one that cannot do the same to you. Tuckaway keeps your budget on your phone, with no account and no bank login, and it lets you import your history so you do not start over. The basics are free, with no envelope cap.
What to look for in a replacement
After a shutdown, the thing that stings most is losing your data and your trends. So the bar for a replacement is higher than features alone. Three things matter most.
It should never be able to strand you
Apps that hold your budget on their own servers can shut down, change owners, or change terms. Tuckaway stores your data on your device and syncs only through your own iCloud, so there is no server of ours to go away. You can export everything at any time.
It should not need your bank login
Bank-linking apps brought their own problems: failed connections, duplicate transactions, and the data-sharing concerns that drew regulator attention. A manual app sidesteps all of it. You type what you spend, which is the trade for real privacy and a logging flow that takes two taps.
It should let you keep your history
Your past months are worth keeping. Tuckaway imports a CSV export, maps your categories to envelopes, and brings your transactions across, so the switch does not mean starting from zero.
Bring your data in three steps
- Export a CSV from your old app or bank.
- Open Tuckaway and choose Import.
- Confirm the envelopes it creates from your categories.
That is it. Your history is in, and it stays on your phone.
Common questions
What happened to Mint?
Intuit shut Mint down in March 2024 and pointed users to Credit Karma, which dropped the budgeting and month-over-month trends many people relied on. Millions were left looking for a real replacement, and a lot of them lost years of categorized history.
Is there a budget app without bank linking?
Yes. Tuckaway is a manual envelope budget app. You enter your own figures, so it never asks for your bank password and your data never leaves your phone. This is the whole design, not a setting.
Can I import my old data?
Yes. Tuckaway reads a CSV export with a date and amount, including the common format from older apps, and turns your categories into envelopes so you keep your history.
