EvenMonth is a budget for the busy month, the missed week, and the Sunday morning you finally sit down. Hazel does the bookkeeping. You make the calls.
No card required for trial · Cancel any Sunday · iOS · Android · Web
Money assigned to a future month. The dollar-to-next-month feeling, reissued every Sunday.
Essentials covered if work goes sideways. Hazel keeps the number honest as bills shift.
Off the cards on purpose. A weekly contract with future-you — the number going down, week over week.
You loved assigning the first dollar to next month. Then a month got busy, the queue grew to three hundred uncategorized transactions, and the app started feeling like homework. None of that was a character flaw. It was a design flaw.
Three hundred receipts, four cards, a week of travel. The categorize-every-transaction contract assumes a quiet life. Most lives are not quiet.
“Behind” is a UI state in most budget apps. Open after a missed week and the screen tells you what you already know: you fell off. Then asks you to fix it.
The trackers told you where it went. You wanted to be told what to decide. A pie chart at the end of the month is not the same as a hand on Tuesday morning.
However many transactions cleared overnight — three, thirty, three hundred — Hazel surfaces three. The rest wait in the inbox and re-rank. The queue is bounded by your attention, not by the bank’s.
On a quiet day she surfaces zero, and that is the whole feature. No streak. No counter. No “you did it.”

Hazel runs at 7 a.m. She categorizes, flags weird charges, proposes moves between categories, and writes a one-paragraph note. Then she stops. Every action lands as a proposal you apply, edit, or dismiss. She proposes. You approve.
“$280 to the Apple Card on Friday. Eleven weeks like this and that card is gone.”
“Great job! 🎉 Way to crush your debt goal!”
“You’re 12 days ahead this month. That’s 4 more than last.”
“Streak: 23 days! Don’t break the chain!”
“I miscategorized that. Fixed.”
“User must verify all AI-generated category assignments.”
“Rent autopays Friday and safe-to-spend is $12. Skip lunch out, you’re fine.”
“You are at risk of overdraft. Please assign funds to Rent immediately.”
When Hazel gets it wrong, she fixes it and says so. Misses are normal, not exceptional. The voice is “Sorry — fixed that,” not “user must verify.”
Every morning at 7:02, a single email lands. Three numbers across the top. One paragraph of plain English. A handful of decisions you can make in five minutes — or skip, because nothing for you is also a feature.
What lands depends on who you are. Quinn wants the Sunday feeling back. Marisol wants the volume handled. Noor wants one number, today.
The Daily is paper for the inbox. It is also what EvenMonth looks like inside, on Sunday morning, when you open the app.
Good morning. The week is on plan. Dining is the only red mark — $114 over the $200 you set for it. I drafted a cover using surplus from Hobbies and trimming Entertainment to what you actually spent. Two taps and the red is gone.
Eleven more weeks like this and the Sapphire is closed. — Hazel
You cannot fall behind in EvenMonth. These five rules earn the propose-then-approve loop and protect you from the failure modes that took you out of the last app. They are not preferences. They are the contract.
Hazel surfaces three things today. Even if fifty are pending. The triage queue is bounded; the rest re-rank tomorrow.
“Nothing pending. See you tomorrow” is success, not a void. No streak. No counter. The reward is the absence of the chore.
Open after thirty quiet days → “Welcome back. Nothing’s broken.” There is no behind state. Hazel kept working.
One tap to let Hazel handle the week. She accepts everything ≥0.85, drafts the rest, surfaces nothing. You opt back in next week. No penalty.
When she gets it wrong she fixes it and says so. Misses are normal, not exceptional. The voice is sorry, not stern.
An active money-management tool for people who want to do, not just to see. Every dollar with a job. Proposals. A bookkeeper. The dollar-to-next-month feeling, recreated and protected.
A tracker that emails you a pie chart on Sunday. A streak counter. A net-worth dashboard. A bot that moves your money. A class with homework.
We are not trying to be everything. There are tools that do other things well — a tracker for the reader who wants charts, a canceller for the reader hunting subscriptions. What follows is the plain map of where we sit among them.
Our pricing as of May 2026. We will update this table the day ours changes — and tell you on the masthead when we do.
We're early, so we won't post reader totals we can't stand behind — and we won't invent them. Two of these are true by design. Two are a single modeled year: what we build toward, not a tally we're claiming. Yours will read like yours.
We don't have customer quotes to show yet — so we won't fake them. These are the three personas EvenMonth is built around, in their own words.
I want to go from opening a budget app on the second Sunday of the month to opening it on the first — the Sunday feeling back, the grind gone.
Do my budget at the school pickup line. Twelve transactions, three taps, away — and the one Hazel gets wrong, she fixes before I notice.
Just tell me I can afford the coffee. One number on the home screen — that would be the whole product, for me.
EvenMonth ships one app. It answers different questions for different lives. The reward is the same — money has jobs again — but the daily ritual is yours.
“I want the Sunday feeling back — without the categorize-every-receipt grind that took it away.”
“I’m not the bookkeeper. I’m the parent. Show me what to decide and put it away.”
“Don’t tell me where it went. Tell me whether I can afford this coffee.”
EvenMonth is not the right tool for the passive tracker, or the maximizer who has tried every system. We respect both. We are not building for them.
We charge for the work Hazel does — pulling, categorizing, writing every morning, holding your ledger for as long as you want us to. Not your data. Not your attention. Not your guilt.

It gives every dollar a job, the way zero-based budgeting always has. The difference is the bookkeeper — Hazel does the categorize-and-move-money work that took you out of the last app. Three things today, not three hundred.
On servers we operate in the US, encrypted at rest with 256-bit AES and in transit with TLS 1.3. You can export the whole ledger to CSV at any time — your data is yours.
Plaid handles authentication. EvenMonth receives transactions and balances; we never see your bank password. You can revoke a connection from the settings page in two taps.
Never. EvenMonth is a ledger, not a bank. Hazel proposes; you apply. Even at 99% confidence on a category, it stays a proposal until you press the button.
Welcome back. Nothing’s broken. There is no behind state in EvenMonth — that is rule three of the doctrine. Hazel kept working while you were gone, and the Sunday after you open it again looks like every other Sunday.
iOS, Android, and the web app — anywhere a browser opens. Push notifications work on all three. Real-time card-swipe alerts work on iOS and Android today; the browser extension is in beta.
EvenMonth is single-user in v1. Annual subscribers get early access when multi-user ships — we’re building it the way Hazel works: propose, approve, never silent.
Yes. Any Sunday, any other day. Your ledger stays exportable for ninety days after, so you can pull a full CSV and move on. No retention dialogues. No “are you sure.”
Thirty days, free. Setup is four minutes. The first Sunday is five. Cancel any time — your ledger was always yours.
