## What is Centscribe?

Take control of your finances with Centscribe, a personal finance companion built to help you track spending, organize money decisions, and understand what may need attention next.

Centscribe brings transactions, budgets, receipts, bills, subscriptions, goals, and net worth into one clear workspace. Whether you are reviewing daily expenses, planning ahead, or building long-term financial discipline, Centscribe helps you stay organized without the clutter of a traditional spreadsheet.

Centscribe is designed to make personal finance easier to keep up with. Free features include manual tracking, receipts, budgeting, current-month pace, and a starter Next Money Move experience that helps point you toward practical review and cleanup tasks.

Centscribe Pro unlocks deeper guidance tools, including Ask Centscribe, an educational AI assistant for thinking through budgeting, spending habits, debt payoff, and general financial organization. Pro also includes AI-assisted transaction review and categorization to help you clean up your data faster while keeping you in control of the final result.
