✨ The budget app for people who are behind

Stop falling behind.
Start getting ahead.

Aureus plans every paycheck for you: what to pay now, what can safely wait, and what to keep for groceries and gas. It works even when your balance is low or below zero, so nothing gets shut off and the late fees stop.

Standard is free forever. No card needed.

Living paycheck to paycheck isn't a character flaw

Most budget apps assume you already have money left over. Aureus starts where you really are.

"There's always a bill I didn't see coming."

Aureus shows every bill and payday ahead of time, and checks in when something's due.

"My account keeps going negative."

Catch-up mode covers the negative balance first, then spreads your bills across your next paychecks.

"I want to save, but there's never anything left."

Once you're caught up, Aureus sets money aside every payday automatically, even $10 at a time.

Everything you need to get ahead

Simple screens, plain language, and a plan that adjusts to real life.

Paycheck plan

Every payday: which bills to pay, money to live on until next time, and what goes to savings.

Catch-up mode

Low or negative balance? Pays what could get shut off first, moves what can wait, pauses extras and shows the day you're caught up.

      Questions

      Is Standard really free?

      Yes. Standard is free with no time limit and no card. Upgrade only if you want bank sync, catch-up mode, autopilot and all of Grow.

      What happens after the free trial?

      Your card is charged $9.99 when the 3-day trial ends, then every month after that. Cancel before the trial ends and you won't be charged at all.

      How do I cancel?

      Anytime, in Plan & billing inside the app. You keep Upgraded until the end of the period you paid for, then you move to Standard. Your budget stays.

      Is my bank information safe?

      Bank connections go through Plaid, a service many finance apps use. You log in to your bank through Plaid, and Aureus never sees your bank password. Payments are handled by Stripe, so we never see your full card number.

      My balance is negative. Can Aureus still help?

      That's exactly who it's built for. Catch-up mode covers the negative balance first, keeps essential services on, and spreads the rest across your next paychecks.

      Is this financial advice?

      No. Aureus is a planning tool with general information. For advice about your situation, talk with a qualified professional or a nonprofit credit counselor.
