MonthlyLog is a simple monthly record of your assets and the life events behind them. Instead of checking numbers every day, you update once a month, see how your assets are trending over time, and add a short note about what happened that month. You enter the numbers yourself, so there’s no need to connect bank or investment accounts. No sign-in, no cloud, no ads. Your data stays on your device.
I built MonthlyLog because I didn’t want another finance app that I had to check every day.
I only wanted to record my assets once a month, see the long-term trend, and leave a small note about what was happening in my life at that time.
I also didn’t like the way many finance apps push goals like “Save $10,000.” Life is full of unexpected events, and when things don’t go according to plan, those goals can become another source of stress. I wanted something that simply helps me look back at what actually happened, without telling me what I should achieve.
I also wanted to keep it simple and private, so there’s no bank connection, no sign-in, and no cloud. You enter the numbers yourself, and everything stays on your device.
Over time, the app became less about “tracking money” and more about keeping a quiet monthly record of both assets and life.
