RUFFIN · A Makara Works keeper

Know the day your money runs out. Then move it.

RUFFIN turns your accounts, bills and plans into one number — your runway — and shows you exactly what stretches it. Built for the stretch between paychecks.

The countdown

Everything orbits one date.

Most budgeting apps show you where money went. RUFFIN shows you how long it will last — and every card on the screen answers one question: does this move the date?

Trim a subscription, pay off a card, tap an investment: watch the date move before you commit.

Features

Index cards, not endless grids.

Grouped, collapsible cards with a sidebar that always tells you where you are.

01

Best, Likely, Worst

Three scenarios side by side, so you plan for the bad case without living in it.

02

Drop in your statements

Drag a PDF or CSV onto RUFFIN to reconcile. An optional AI reader handles the messy ones.

03

Snowball or avalanche

Compare debt payoff orders and see which one buys you more runway.

04

If I tap it

Which account to draw from first, and what it does to your date, your taxes and your allocation.

05

Retire?

A simple Social Security and retirement check: what it takes to keep your current standard of living.

06

Any currency, any language, light or dark

Multi-currency accounts, including money sent abroad. Twelve languages. Dark mode for late-night planning.

The Inbox: a bank statement dropped in, matched line by line against the log
Inbox — statements matched line by line, in your browser.
The Retire? screen: the number you need, earliest ages, and levers
Retire? — the number, the earliest age, the levers.
A keeper at the Makara gate

Your statements cross the gate once.

RUFFIN reads them, checks that they reconcile, and turns them into your plan. That's the Makara method — receive, guard, translate — applied to your household.

Your plan is stored in your own browser. Statements are read on your device and never uploaded. If you turn on the optional AI reader, account numbers and names are removed before any text is sent. Export or delete everything from Settings at any time.

Questions

Do I have to connect my bank?

No. Drag in PDF or CSV statements and RUFFIN reads them. Bank connections may come later as an option.

Where does my data go?

Nowhere. Your plan lives in your browser's storage on your own device. Statements are read on the device and never uploaded. You can export everything as a file, or wipe it, from Settings. If you choose to sign in later for sync between devices, your plan is stored encrypted in your own account and you can delete it at any time.

What does it cost?

Free during the beta. Core planning stays free; sync, partner sharing and the AI statement reader will be a paid Pro tier when they launch.

Can I bring in my own spreadsheet?

Yes. Import the Runway workbook, or any Excel or CSV export, from Setup. Nothing is sent anywhere — the file is read in your browser.

Is RUFFIN financial advice?

No. RUFFIN is a planning tool. For advice on your situation, talk with a licensed financial professional.
