Lake

Lake is an automatic spending tracker for the places you keep going. If you have tried tracking or budgeting and found it hard to keep up, start with the spending already in your history. Connect a supported institution through Plaid to see eligible usual places and what a visit usually costs, based on recent transactions. When a place matches a spending limit, see the limit left and how many similar visits fit. Review your monthly budgets and set visit goals that start when you choose. Each new goal has its own monthly period and countdown. Results wait until Lake can verify the spending history for that period. Earned points unlock optional customizations. Free includes up to five usual places on Home, monthly budgets, and two new goals per calendar month, with up to two ongoing goals. New goals that are met earn 50 points on Free or 100 with Premium, based on your plan when the result is verified. Lake Premium connects your banks and adds your full list of eligible usual places, favorite-place pinning, unlimited goals, monthly reports, Insights and five additional app icon colors. It starts with a 1-month free trial through Apple for new subscribers. Both plans use the same earned-customization catalog. Choose optional nearby reminders for places you save, or a weekly check-in. Nearby reminders need location permission and depend on iOS delivery. Weekly check-ins do not need location. Choose light or dark appearance to make Lake comfortable to read. Available subscription plans, prices and renewal terms appear in the app before purchase. Restore purchases and manage Apple subscriptions from Membership. A Lake account and a supported linked institution are needed for your personal spending view. Linking an institution needs Lake Premium or its free trial. Available history and figures depend on the data your institution provides.
