Elizabeth’s Favorite Toolkit for YNAB settings

The Toolkit for YNAB is a browser extension (or add-on) that affects the looks and functionality of You Need A Budget. There are nearly 100 different settings (offering way over 100 different options) — ways to tweak how your budget looks and acts.

Check out my Unofficial Guide to the Unofficial Toolkit for YNAB for more about the Toolkit and how to install it. You’ll also find detailed descriptions and personal assessments of each available setting, complete with screenshots of how the setting impacts the look and feel of YNAB.

One of the least celebrated features of the Toolkit is the ability to Import and Export your settings — to quickly preserve or transfer your customized Toolkit experience to a new computer, to sync a second computer, or to share with your friends.

The code below is the result of my exported Toolkit settings. It contains all the settings that improve my workflow or otherwise enhance my budgeting experience.

Feel free to copy the code and import it into your own Toolkit installation.
