A budget built from how you actually spend
Preso analyzes your spending history and proposes realistic budget amounts per category — a starting point grounded in your real life, not a template.
Estimates from evidence
Budget amounts start from your historical averages per subcategory — up to two years of data — so the plan is realistic on day one.
Tune it to your goals
Adjust any category with a click. Cutting dining out by $100? Set it, and the tracker holds you to the new number.
Essentials separated
Preso distinguishes essential from non-essential spending, so you trim where there’s actually room instead of pretending rent is negotiable.

Frequently asked questions
How does Preso know what my budget should be?
It computes your historical average spending per subcategory from your imported transactions and proposes those as starting budgets. You adjust from there — informed defaults beat blank boxes.
What if my spending varies a lot month to month?
Averages over a long window (up to 720 days) smooth out spiky months, and you can override any category where the average doesn’t reflect your intent.
Is this a zero-based budgeting app?
No — Preso is built around tracking against realistic category budgets rather than assigning every dollar a job. If you find zero-based systems too high-maintenance, this is the lower-effort alternative.
Do budgets update as my life changes?
Your actuals update automatically as transactions arrive, and you can re-tune budget amounts anytime — the comparison always reflects your latest plan.
