See what’s left of your income after rent, bills, and subscriptions, without tracking every coffee. Add your income and recurring expenses once. Monthly then calculates your budget around every due date. EVERY BILL IN THE RIGHT MONTH Rent is due every month, insurance once a year. Monthly counts each payment in the budget month it falls in. You can plan for one-time income and expenses, too. YOUR BUDGET, YOUR SCHEDULE Start your budget month on payday or any other day of the month. If you want, an account can carry what’s left at the end of the month into the next one, shortfalls included, so your budget keeps running. At the start of each budget month, check the amount and adjust it if needed. HOUSEHOLDS & ACCOUNTS Manage separate households and assign income and expenses to accounts. Transfers move money between your accounts, once or on a recurring schedule, and don’t count as income or expenses. See the budget for each account as well as your household total. REMINDERS ON YOUR TERMS Set a reminder for any expense and choose the day and time. CATEGORIES & INSIGHTS Group expenses into categories such as housing, transportation, or leisure, with colors and icons of your choice. See how your income, expenses, and budget change over time. WIDGETS & QUICK ACCESS Check your monthly budget and upcoming expenses from your Home Screen, without opening Monthly. Add a new expense from the “Today’s Expenses” widget or a control in Control Center. CSV EXPORT Export your income, expenses, and transfers as a CSV file to open in a spreadsheet. FREE & PRIVATE No ads, no tracking, no subscription, no sign-up. Monthly keeps your entries on your device, not in the cloud. Plan your month knowing what’s left.
