The sidenav is one of the most-used parts of Actual Budget. It's how you jump between your budget, reports, schedules, and accounts; and it's the first thing you see every time you open the app. We think it's time to give it some love, and we want the community to lead the way.

So we're running a design competition. The top 10 designs get free Actual Budget swag, and the winning design gets built into the app.
