Hunter Vault reserves what matters before it shows you a number. Your tracked bills and due dates, debt minimum payments, and savings commitments all come off the top — so what you see is what's actually free to spend.
Safe-to-Spend is the foundation your streaks and goals sit on. Spend within the number and your bills stay covered, your savings stay funded, and your debt payments land on time. The Budget screen uses the same set-asides, and each budget bar shows where you should be by today, which keeps your XP and streaks climbing.
It isn't the flashiest feature in Hunter Vault. It's the quiet one that holds everything together.
Plain subtraction, nothing hidden: your spendable balance minus upcoming bills, debt minimums, savings commitments, and your emergency buffer. Set category limits on top and you get the full picture — protected, budgeted, and genuinely free. Available to budget on the Budget screen sets aside the same goal amounts and debt minimums, so your plan and your spending number agree.
You're not relying on remembering when a bill is due.
You spend against a real number, not a hopeful guess.
Everything is reserved before you spend a cent.
Manual and offline by design.
Open the app and start — no sign-up.
Nothing is sent to a server unless you turn on an online feature.
It reflects the numbers you enter, not a live bank balance.
Hunter Vault tracks — it never touches real funds.
Built for awareness, not financial advice.
A safe-to-spend number is the amount of money you can actually spend right now — after upcoming bills, debt payments, savings commitments, and a buffer have been set aside. It's the part of your balance that genuinely has no other job.
Hunter Vault takes your spendable balance, then subtracts upcoming bills, debt minimum payments, savings commitments, and your emergency buffer. Whatever remains is your Safe-to-Spend number — the amount you can use without touching money already promised elsewhere.
No. Your bank balance includes money already earmarked for bills, rent, and debt. Safe-to-Spend subtracts all of that first, so the number you see is what's genuinely free — based on the numbers you enter into Hunter Vault.
No — it's manual and private by design. You enter your balance and commitments yourself. Your data stays on your device unless you turn on an online feature, and no bank login is required.
Yes. The buffer is set by you — use whatever cushion feels right for your situation. It simply stays reserved so Safe-to-Spend never drops you to zero.
Yes. On the Budget screen, Available to budget sets aside your goal amounts and debt minimums the same way Safe-to-Spend does, so the two numbers tell the same story. Once a debt is paid off, it no longer holds money back.
It helps you see the risk before it arrives. Safe-to-Spend reflects the numbers you enter, not your live bank account — so it's only as accurate as what you keep updated. Think of it as a heads-up system, not a guarantee.
