# CalBudget documentation

> Learn how to use CalBudget to plan paychecks, bills, subscriptions, debt payments, and future daily balances on a calendar.

CalBudget is a calendar-first budgeting app. You place money events on the dates they affect an account, then CalBudget projects the running balance day by day so you can see what is coming before it happens.
