What you get

A budget that does something

A move is a hundred purchases. Nido keeps the total honest and finds money you'd otherwise leave on the table.

Set it and watch it live

A segmented bar shows what you've Bought, what's Added (planned), and what's Left — per room and home-wide.

Proactive savings

Around 85% of budget, Nido surfaces budget-friendly swaps for your most expensive remaining items that still match your style.

“Already have” counts

Items you scan as owned reduce what the budget needs to cover — that money shifts to what you still need.

Real prices throughout

Spend rolls up from what you actually paid, plus realistic estimates for what's still planned. No guesswork.
