How it works
Five steps. No spreadsheet.
Sonder plans your money. It doesn’t move it, and it doesn’t need a bank connection to be useful.
The five steps
Confirm what’s in your account today
One number to start. You type what’s in the account right now, and Sonder remembers the date you confirmed it. An empty balance is never treated as zero.
Add the paydays and bills you know about
Rent, a subscription, the Visa, each paycheck. Sonder understands recurring dates, so you enter them once.
Read your forecast
Home tells you in a sentence how far your plan reaches and when it’s thinnest. The Forecast shows the dated events that move your balance, with and without money you’re only expecting.
Check a choice before you make it
Put a price on a purchase in Sonder Check, or compare two paths in Two Futures. Ask Sonder questions in plain words, and review any change it prepares.
Close the month and look back
Each month is a chapter. Mark bills paid, write what you decided and why, and keep the story with the numbers.

What Sonder doesn’t do
Boundaries, in plain words.
It never moves money
Sonder isn’t a bank, a payment app or a lender. When it says “pay the Visa”, you pay the Visa.
It isn’t financial advice
It does arithmetic on the facts you give it. It doesn’t know your whole situation, and it isn’t a licensed adviser.
It doesn’t guess quietly
Anything uncertain is labelled as an estimate, and any change to your plan needs your confirmation.
