What it does

The money is the spine, not a sidebar.

Most renovation tools treat the budget as a report you generate at the end. YPReno is built the other way round: you add what you are buying, and the numbers are the app.

Every item, priced

Add what you are buying with its brand, store, room, category, quantity, price and any discount. The project total moves as you type. Nothing needs to be re-entered anywhere else.

Paid, and by whom

Record payments against an item — in full or in parts, split across the people actually paying. YPReno keeps what is settled and what is still outstanding as two separate, visible numbers.

Where the money went

Totals by room, by category, by payer and by store. "The bathroom" becomes a figure you can look at rather than a feeling you have at two in the morning.

One item, with everything the totals are built from.

The YPReno items page for a project called YPReno Demo, with the budget band above a filter row and the item list grouped into collapsible rooms — Living Room with one item and Master Bedroom with one — showing a Bed card marked purchased at AUD 6,000.00 from Tempur.com, with its delivery window and a full payment progress bar. — The same items, grouped by the room they belong to.

The top of the YPReno items page: a dark budget band reading remaining balance $25,041 above a progress bar and the caption 93% of total budget paid, with total budget $336,648 and total paid $311,607 to its right. — The total every item feeds, at the top of the screen you work on.

Two people, one budget

Settle up at the end without reconstructing it.

One of you buys the sofa and records it. The other buys the appliances. At the end of the renovation, who paid what is already a number — not an evening spent going through a year of bank statements.

The item form with a payment of AUD 6,000.00 recorded and labelled Paid by Me, above a summary line reading AUD 6,000.00 paid, AUD 0.00 remaining. — A payment belongs to a person, so the totals can be split by payer.
