After using countless budgeting apps filled with bugs, sync issues, and confusing interfaces, I built the app I always wanted: fast, stable, and effortless. No bank connections and no broken imports. Just quick, clean input that keeps you in control. Add a transaction on one device and it appears instantly on all others. Bug-free and predictable. The most common feedback I hear is: "It just works." If you want a budgeting app that is simple and stable, I hope Monee makes your life easier.

I am the maker of Monee. I started building it after getting frustrated with other budgeting apps that kept breaking, especially around recurring transactions and time zones.
I tried everything to grow it in 2023. Posting on buildinpublic, running Apple Search Ads. None of it worked. More people canceled than subscribed, and it became clear that the app needed far more polish before it could grow. So I removed the pressure, deleted my Twitter account, and made Monee free.
That changed everything. With more users came real feedback, more reviews, and slow but steady growth. Germany picked up first, then other countries followed. It took much longer than I expected, but once the algorithms finally noticed the app, things started moving. Along the way I kept improving stability, fixing bugs, and focusing on making Monee feel predictable and calm.
Monee is now completely free, manual, simple, and built to be reliable. No subscriptions, no ads, no tracking. If you have tried budgeting apps that felt confusing or buggy, I would love to hear what you think of Monee.
btw, this is how I look when coding: https://www.reddit.com/r/SidePro...
Manual budgeter here. Recurring + time zones have broken so many apps for me. The no bank sync, just type-it-in vibe feels right. If it stays fast and boring, I’m in. Trying it on phone + iPad to see how the instant sync holds up.
A lil question for you, when people started canceling, what did you learn from that? And was there one change you made that actually made people stay instead of leaving?

@why_tahir Not one change but hundreds :) and I guess it adds up over time. whenever a user asked something that was clear for me I tried to make it easier.

Using Monee for a bit now and it’s easy to manage. Adding expenses is quick and when I open the app later everything is still clear and easy to follow. I like checking my spending by category without digging through a bunch of screens. It’s simple to use, which I want from a budgeting app.
I’ve got a real question though. A lot of budgeting apps feel great for a week then people stop using them. How did you design Monee so people actually keep using it long term, instead of dropping off after a few weeks? And were there any ideas you tried that completely failed?
BTW Congrats on launch!

Congratulations on launch, A question for you, how you approached building trust in Monee. People are putting their entire financial life into the app and even a small mistake could cause big problems. How did you design Monee to stay reliable in critical moments like at the end of the month when users are traveling or dealing with time zone differences?
