For me, the hardest thing about budgeting is keeping it at the top of my mind and knowing how much I have left in the budget. Keeping a budget is usually a pull-type task: you need to take the initiative to check and balance the budget often. I had trouble finding an app that really helped do that for me, so I built one!

It's called Monitr - it's a chrome extension that makes budgeting into a push-type task: it lets you set a budget and shows you how far away from reaching it every time you open a new tab. It also shows you your latest expenses and, if you're over budget, which expenses put you over.

​

It's just an MVP right now with just the core features right now, but I want to add more budgeting tools like grouping by category/tag, statistics, and linking multiple banks and bank accounts. I wanted to get an MVP out to see if other people would want to use a tool like this.
