Almanac
Try the demo

Set up in an afternoon. Then it runs itself.

Three steps. The first two happen once; the third is a number you read on a Monday.

Step 1

Connect your accounts

Almanac reads 18 months of transactions so it can see an annual cost twice and confirm the cycle rather than guess it. Bank connectivity would be handled by a third-party data aggregator, and coverage varies by institution1.

Step 2

Confirm what repeats

Almanac proposes the costs it found. You keep the ones that are real and drop the rest. Switch one off and the year rebuilds beside you.

Step 3

Follow the weekly number

Every Monday, one amount. Set it aside wherever you keep savings. Almanac tracks which cost each week is filling, so you can see that October is covered before October arrives.
