Everything In One Place

One App for Your Entire Financial Life

From your everyday checking account to your investment portfolio, Steward keeps it all organized, reconciled, and reportable.

Customizable Dashboard

A home screen built from widgets you choose: net worth, budgets, upcoming bills, top movers, market indexes, savings goals, and more — drag, reorder, hide, or maximize any of them.

Every Account Type

Checking, savings, credit cards, brokerage & crypto, loans, and non-liquid assets like real estate — all tracked side by side for a true net worth picture.

Fast Transaction Register

Inline editing, split transactions across categories, automatic transfers between accounts, and a filter bar to search any register instantly.

Real Reconciliation

Checkbook-style statement reconciliation for banking accounts, plus holdings-level reconciliation against brokerage CSV exports for investment accounts.

Categories & Payees

Nested income/expense categories, tax-related flagging for year-end reporting, and a payee directory with default categories and contact info.

Bills & Scheduled Items

Recurring bills, deposits, and transfers with auto-detection when you enter a matching transaction manually — never double-enter a bill again.

Smart Budgeting

Auto-generate a budget from your real spending history (1, 3, 6, or 12-month averages), then track pace with monthly and year-to-date progress bars.

Savings Goals

Set target amounts and dates for a vacation fund, emergency fund, or down payment, and link goals directly to an account for live progress tracking.

Cash Flow Forecast

Project any account’s balance forward using your scheduled bills and deposits — see cash crunches coming before they happen.

Investing

A Real Portfolio Manager, Not Just a Ledger

Steward tracks buys, sells, splits, reinvested dividends, and cash income across every brokerage and crypto account — then rolls it all up into one consolidated Portfolio view with market values, cost basis, and gain/loss.

  • Automatic and manual price fetching, with a scheduled daily refresh
  • Watchlist for securities you don’t yet own
  • Stock & Sector Exposure reports that look through your ETFs and mutual funds
  • Holdings reconciliation against real brokerage statements
  • Capital gains, investment performance, and investment income reporting
Insights

The Custom Report builder lets you pick dimensions, metrics, filters, and chart type, then export to CSV or XLSX and save it as a dashboard favorite.
