List of YNAB Toolkit Features

General (Click to Expand/Collapse)

Account Name Height

Makes the account names smaller so that you can see more of the account names and fit more on the screen.

Add Copy Transactions to Activity Modals

Adds a button to copy transactions displayed in the various Activity Modals (Budget and Reports pages).

Better scrollbars

Provides smaller and cleaner scrollbars across the application.

Budget Quick Switch

Adds the list of budgets to the Open Budget dropdown so you don't have to navigate to the 'Open Budget' page to switch budgets.

Colour Blind Mode

Changes colours like red, yellow and green in the interface to colours and shapes that are more easily distinguishable by colourblind people.

Hide Account Balances

Allows you to hide account type totals and/or account balances.

Hide Closed Accounts

This feature hides the closed accounts section in the side menu. View the account-options popup (click your e-mail) to show or hide the closed accounts.

Hide Edit Account Button

Allows you to hide the edit account button to help prevent accidentally clicking on it.

Hide Help (?) Button

This feature hides the blue help (?) button in the bottom right corner of the screen. View the account-options popup (click your e-mail) to show or hide the help button.

Hide Referral Banner

YNAB shows a "Share YNAB, Get YNAB free" banner. If you'd rather not see this banner, you can turn this feature on to hide it.

Interface Font

Select a font from the Google Fonts library or choose to use your system font.

Localization of YNAB

Localization of interface.

Navigation Tabs Height

Makes the navigation tabs (Budget, Reports, etc) smaller, and with less padding, so that you can see more of the sidebar on the screen.

POS-style currency entry mode

Allow entry of currency values without decimal separators (as done in real-life on POS terminals). For example, entering a figure of "500" will expand to "5.00". Values containing decimal separator of current account are left unmodified (e.g. "50.00" will stay "50.00"). As a shorthand, values ending with "-" will be expanded to full monetary unit (e.g. "50-" will result in "50.00"). Math operations are supported as well (e.g. "50*5" becomes "2.50").

Printing Improvements

Changes print styles so budget and account sections can be easily printed. Due to the number of columns, the account section should be printed using landscape orientation.

Privacy Mode

Obscures dollar amounts everywhere until hovered. In toggle mode, a lock icon will appear in the lower left corner of YNAB. Click to enable or disable privacy mode.

Show Import Notifications in Navigation Sidebar

Underline account names in the navigation sidebar that have transactions to be imported. Hovering the mouse over the account name will display the number of transactions to be imported.

Square Negative Mode

Changes the round borders on all negative numbers to square. Helps them become more of an eyesore so you want to get rid of them!

Toolkit Reports

Adds Toolkit Reports to the sidebar. Current reports include: Net Worth, Spending By Category/Payee, and Income vs Expense

Uncleared Account Highlight

Adds a small indicator next to account balances on the sidebar to indicate not all transactions are cleared.

Budget (Click to Expand/Collapse)

Add Goals Indication

Add indicators for subcategories with goals. Types: (M)onthly goal, target by (D)ate goal, (T)arget without date, and (U)pcoming transactions.

Add Pacing to the Budget

Add a column for 'pacing' which shows you how much money you've spent based on how far you are through the month. Note that clicking on the pacing value will toggle emphasis, allowing you to selectively enable the feature per category.

Allow Markdown in Notes

Adds Markdown parsing to notes, allowing support for links, bullet points, and other formatting tools. Learn how to use Markdown here.

Budget Rows Progress Bars

Add progress bars and a vertical bar that shows how far you are through the month to category rows.

Colored Master Category Row

Adds Color to Master Category Row.

Credit Card Emoji

Adds a credit card emoji 💳 to the "Credit Card Payments" category.

Current Month Indicator

Changes the header bar's background color to a lighter blue when viewing the current month to better differentiate between months.

Date Of Money

Hover the mouse over Age of Money to display the date of the income. For example, on 11th January with Age of Money = 10, Date of Money would be 1st January.

Days Of Buffering Metric - Date

Hover the mouse over Days of Buffering to display the equivalent Date for Days of Buffering. For example, on 1st January with Days of Buffering = 10, Date of Buffering would be 11th January.

Days of Buffering History Lookup

How old transactions should be used for average daily outflow calculation.

Days of Buffering Metric

This calculation shows how long your money would likely last if you never earned another cent based on your average spending. We know that no month is 'average' but this should give you some idea of how much of a buffer you have. Equal to budget accounts total divided by the average daily outflow. That comes from sum of all outflow transactions from on budget accounts only divided by the age of budget in days. You can also change the number of days taken into account by this metric with the 'Days of Buffering History Lookup' setting.

Display Target Goal Amount And Overbudget Warning

Adds a 'Goal' column which displays the target goal amount for every category with a goal, and a warning in red if you have budgeted beyond your goal.

Display Total Monthly Goals

Adds a 'Total Monthly Goals' to the budget inspector, which displays the total amount of monthly funding goals.

Enable Categories Filter

Enable textbox at budget page for categories filtering

Goal Indicator Warning Color

Change the orange goal underfunded warning to blue, to better differentiate it from credit card overspending.

Height of Budget Rows

Makes the budget rows skinnier than the default YNAB style so that you can fit more on the screen.

Hide Age of Money Calculation

Hides the Age of Money calculation. Some users find it's not relevant or helpful for them, so they'd rather hide it. NOTE: YNAB will continue to run its Age of Money calculations, so the data will be up to date if you decide to show it again.

Hide Total Available

Hides the "Total Available" section in the budget inspector.

Highlight all Negative Category Balances Red

Ensure all negative balances are highlighted red instead of yellow, even with credit card spending.

Show total of incoming transactions for last month in the header.

Link to Inflows

Clicking on the "Total Inflows" section of the budget inspector will link to the inflow transactions for that month.

Make the Categories Dropdown Larger

The Categories Dropdown that shows in the move money modal is quite small. Show more categories if the page real estate allows for it.

Paid in Full Credit Card Assist

Highlights credit card category balances with a yellow warning if the balance of the category does not match the account balance. Adds a button to the Inspector to rectify the difference.

Remove Zero and Negative Categories When Covering Over-Budgeting

Default YNAB behaviour is to show these categories when covering overbudgeting, but since they've got no money in them they won't help you. Let's clean up the menu.
