    Montra logs it

    It picks the category, date and account for you. Fix anything with one message.

    See where it went

    Your dashboard updates instantly with totals, categories and cash flow.

New: Text Montra

No app to open. Just text it.

The hardest part of budgeting is remembering to log things. So now you don't even have to open Montra.

“Hey Siri, text Montra I spent $40 on gas”
  • Save Montra's number and text it what you spent, like any friend.
  • It texts back what it logged and how much of your budget is left.
  • Set it up in Settings → Text Montra. Canadian numbers for now.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Is it really free?+

Right now, completely. There's no credit card and nothing that quietly starts charging you. Montra won't be free forever, but for now all I'm asking for is your honest feedback. If that ever changes, you'll hear about it well in advance.

How is this different from just using ChatGPT?+

ChatGPT answers money questions. Montra keeps track for you. ChatGPT can keep your history in a chat, but a chat is a conversation, not a record: every time you ask how much you've spent, it re-reads everything and does the math in its head, and the longer the chat gets, the less you can trust the answer. Montra saves every purchase as real data and does the math with code, so the numbers are exact every time, and your budgets and goals update the second you log something. It also works without you asking: bills and paycheques log themselves, and it reminds you on days you forget.

How is this different from my bank's spending breakdown?+

The biggest difference is that you actually notice your spending. Your bank sorts things in the background, so most people rarely look at it. Logging a purchase yourself takes five seconds, and that moment is what makes you more aware of where your money goes and actually change your habits. Montra also puts everything in one place, like a debit card at one bank, a credit card at another, cash and e-Transfers, with no bank login. And its categories follow how you'd describe things (Costco as groceries, not "shopping"), and you can fix anything just by telling it.

Do I have to connect my bank?+

No. Montra never asks for your bank login and can't see your accounts. It only knows what you tell it.

Is my data private?+

Your transactions are only visible to you, and they're never sold. You can delete your account and everything in it anytime from Settings.

Can I trust the AI with my numbers?+

The AI only turns your messages into transactions. Every total and breakdown is calculated by regular, tested code — not guessed by the AI.

Does it work on my phone?+

Yes. On iPhone, it's free on the App Store (search "Montra Money"). On Android, open montramoney.ca in Chrome and tap "Add to Home screen" so it opens like an app. With a Canadian number, you can also log by plain text message from any phone.

What currencies does it support?+

Set your currency in Settings — CAD, USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, INR, JMD and more.

How do I get in touch?+

Email support@montramoney.ca — a real person reads every message. You can also send feedback from Settings in the app.
