I budget with YNAB, but I don’t want a notification on my phone for every transaction. I’d rather get a task in my to-do app when there’s something to approve. So I built a Homey app for it: **Connector for YNAB**. It’s now in test.

**What you can do with it**  
When new transactions are waiting for approval, Homey can start a Flow. For example:

- Add a task to your to-do app, like “Approve 3 transactions in YNAB” (this is how I use it)
- Block time in your calendar to do your administration
- Send a notification, if you do want one

There’s a card per transaction (amount, payee, category, etc.) and a card per check (number of new transactions and total amount). Each transaction is reported only once.

**What you need**

- Homey Pro with firmware 12 or newer
- A YNAB Personal Access Token (Account Settings → Developer Settings)

The token stays on your own Homey and is never shared.

**Feedback and ideas welcome**  
Besides testers I’m looking for ideas. What would you like it to do? Some things I’m thinking about:

- Approve a transaction from a Flow
- Flag a transaction
- A card for category balances, like “Groceries is below €50”

Nederlands mag ook!

The app and this post were made with Claude. The ideas, reviewing text and weeks of testing the app are done by myself.
