One honest number.
Canny’s headline figure is fun money left today — what you can spend on the nice-to-haves, with rent, bills and savings already set aside. It composes like this:
Example figures. Yours are computed on your phone — and stay there.
Everything in envelopes, nothing in the cloud.
Give every euro an envelope.
Each category gets its own monthly envelope, tagged need, want or save. The 50/30/20 lens shows your whole plan through that split, with gentle pace nudges as the month goes on — encouraging, never nagging.
Live from one honest number.
Fun money left today keeps the day simple. Recurring bills know their due and paid states — with undo and a payment log, all tied into your balance. Sort spending one card at a time in the review deck, and when an envelope runs dry, borrow from another — honestly, out in the open.
Watch the months settle.
Savings goals fill at your pace, and insights show your trends over time. And when you want your data, take it: back up and export any time. It’s yours — that’s the point.
Fifty, thirty, twenty.
One kind way to read a month: half to needs, thirty to wants, twenty put away. Slide an income and watch the split — Canny keeps this lens on your real plan, gently.

Pure arithmetic, computed on this page. Nothing is sent anywhere — there’s nowhere to send it.
Two phones, one home.
Partner sync runs over your own WiFi. Two phones find each other on your home network and merge directly, phone to phone. No server in the middle, no copy in a data centre — the budget simply meets itself at home.
What we never do.
- No Ads.
- No Accounts.
- No Cloud.
- No Tracking.
- No Selling your data.
Why free? Why private?
Because there’s nothing to run. Canny has no server — your budget lives in your phone’s own storage, and partner sync happens across your own WiFi. No server means no running costs to recoup, no database of users to guard, and no reason to charge you or to watch you.
“What happens to my data?” — nothing. It never leaves your phone.
That isn’t a promise buried in a policy; it’s how the app is built. No account, no cloud, no tracking, no AI. And if one day you want to leave, take everything with you — back up and export any time.
Take it home.
The whole app, free, straight onto your Android phone — and after that, it’s between you and your money.
Installs directly as an APK (a sideload) — it isn’t from the Play Store.
Canny speaks English, Dutch, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Polish.
