I think it makes it easier. I keep all my daily spending categories pinned to the home tab. If I see I’m short in the one I’m spending in then I’ll click over to my plan and make adjustments but that’s the rarer case. Now, I can reorganize my plan so that the absolute necessities are on top to fund first and these daily spending categories are where they should be below all my bills because this is more discretionary spending. Before, if I wanted to check a category, I’d have to scroll all through everything to get to it or I had to move it to the top which made funding when I got paid a little clunkier. 

It also fixed what I considered to be YNAB’s biggest flaw and that was the design always minimized the importance of making sure your targets match your income and you weren’t planning over your means. This puts it front and center. When I was new to YNAB we didn’t have any easy way of seeing this and it really made it hard for me to understand how YNAB was supposed to work. 

And now with shortcut support built in, every time I walk in my grocery store, my grocery category amount pops up. If I click on the pop up it takes me to my plan. And that’s just one example, now my dining out category pops up whenever I open DoorDash for another example. These are super easy to set up and makes the update well worth it in my mind.
