Spend less time, money, and effort on everyday life.
We look at how things really run, cut what doesn't help, and set up what's left so it's easy to keep up. Analyze & Optimize does that two ways: apps you use on your own, and on-site organizing where we come to you.
Apps to optimize your everyday life
Small, focused apps that show where your time and money actually go, and help you fix it. Simple, Private, and Fairly Priced.
In development A&O Budget: See where your money goes and where you're headed, months or years out.
See A&O Budget →On-site organizing for your home or business
A&O comes to you and works alongside you on closets, garages, paperwork, offices, and workflows, then labels everything so it stays easy to keep up.
As low as $100. Supplies at cost. No travel fee.

Analyze
See what's really happening, not what we think is happening. Where does the time, money, or effort actually go?
Optimize
Cut what doesn't help, stop doing the same work twice, and set things up so everyday tasks take less time and effort.
Improve
Keep it getting better. Check how it's working, adjust as your life changes, and find the next thing to cut.
See where your money actually goes, and where you're headed.
A&O Budget turns your numbers into one clear plan: where every dollar went, what's left this month, when each debt is gone, and when you'll hit your savings goals. Project months or years out with one click. No bank login. Your data stays with you.
Most budget apps want your bank password and charge $80 to $110 a year. A&O Budget never asks for your bank login, the core budget is free, and the full version is $5 a month.
Start from one bank file
Download your transactions from your bank's website as a CSV file (a plain spreadsheet file most banks offer), drop it in, and see where the money went. Or type your numbers in yourself.
Your monthly budget
Income, bills, and spending on one screen, so you know what's left before the month starts.
Look ahead
Project months or years out with one click. See where you'll be if nothing changes, and what a change does to it.
Debt payoff plan
Pick which debt to pay first and see the month each one is gone.
Savings goals
Set a goal, see the date you'll hit it, and keep going after the debt is paid off.
Your history
Past months and years stay put, so you can compare this March to last March.
What you can count on
- No bank login. We never ask for it.
- Your data stays with you. We don't collect it, sell it, or use it. It never touches our servers.
- No ads, no upsells. If a feature doesn't help you see or fix your budget, it doesn't go in.
- Free to start. The core budget is free. The full version is $5 a month.
What it doesn't do yet
- It doesn't connect to your bank automatically. You bring in a file when you want to update.
- There's no phone app yet. It runs in your web browser.
We'd rather tell you up front than have you find out later.
A&O Budget is part of A&O Life, a growing set of focused apps built the same way: Simple, Private, and Fairly Priced.

Built by people who cut waste for a living
We started Analyze & Optimize in 2022 with one goal: help people spend less time, money, and effort on everyday life, and skip anything that doesn't add real value.
