i got tired of budgeting apps that want my bank login first. so i'm building monetor.
an iphone app that shows where your month actually went:
• apple pay taps captured with a shortcut
• bank payment alerts logged, no bank login
• receipts scanned into an editable expense
• cash in a few seconds
• every currency in one month
• subscriptions before they renew
free plan, getting ready for the app store. join the waitlist: monetor.co
sunday, laptop half open.
this is the part of launching nobody posts about.
no big ship. just me using my own app to log the weekend and noting every spot where it slows me down.
the list is longer than i'd like. good.
sunday after launch, day log
- read every reply from the week
- the same question about the first screen came up more than once
- rewrote the empty state copy, not the feature
- shipped nothing new
the cheapest fix is usually words
sunday money check, 10 minutes:
1. scroll the last 7 days in your bank app
2. mark anything you wouldn't buy again
3. pick one and make it harder next week (remove the saved card, mute the shop)
one leak a week adds up fast
you don't need a budget to start.
you need to see where this month is going.
that's the whole idea behind monetor.
no bank login. eligible apple pay taps log through shortcuts, scan a receipt, add cash.
live on the app store, free on iphone:
apps.apple.com/us/app/moneto…
saying no is the real post-launch skill.
every reply wants a new screen.
most of them would make the empty state worse.
shipped means you protect what already works.
two weeks after shipping
i still open monetor every morning
and log yesterday's cash
not because i'm testing
because i still forget where the money went
without looking
the best feedback after launch isn't "add this feature"
it's "i opened it and didn't know what to do next"
that one sentence is worth a week of roadmap
