Track expenses in seconds, plan a monthly budget, monitor bills and subscriptions, split spending across multiple accounts, and set savings goals you'll actually hit. FEATURES • AI Coach: Pick a personality — Supportive, Brutal, or Gen Z (plus Premium personalities BrainRot, Wealthy Mentor, and Romantic) — and get spending feedback that actually matches your mood. • Hours of Life (Premium): See every expense converted into hours of your income, not just dollars.
