Sample data
Choose what it counts
A limit can count your net loss for the month or the deposits you add. Set one for everything, or one for a single category.
A heads-up, not a wall
At 80% and again at 100% you see a calm note with what is used, what is left and the days to go. You can keep logging either way.
A weekly look back
Each week the review totals your entries and shows how far each limit has moved, so the month does not surprise you at the end.
What it is not. It is not an alarm that locks you out, and it gives no advice on what to spend. It is a number you set and a record you type in by hand.
What it does
Overview
A limit works best when you pick it on a calm day. Choose the most you want a month to reach, log each entry by hand, and Manage Bankroll shows how much is used and how many days are left. At 80% you get a quiet heads-up. Nothing is blocked, and the number stays yours to change.
Left, and days to go
Each limit shows how much is left and how many days remain in the month.
Per-category limits
Give one category its own cap, such as subscriptions or events.
Weekly review
Look over the week's entries, put them in categories and see each limit's progress. The only streak is weeks reviewed.
Pause Timer
The Mental Trainer's Pause Timer gives you a few quiet minutes before you add the next entry.
Why it stays manual
- You choose the number, so it is a limit you meant.
- Only entries you log count towards it, and you can fix any of them.
- Change it or remove it whenever your month changes.
- It starts again each month, with the days left shown as you go.

Common questions
Does the limit stop me from logging or spending?
No. It never blocks logging, and the app does not touch your money. It shows how much of your limit is used and gives a heads-up at 80% and 100%. What you do next is up to you.
What can a limit count?
Your net loss for the month or the deposits you add. You can set one across all categories or one for a single category.
How do I set one?
Open limits in the app, pick what to count, choose a monthly amount and save. Choose a preset or type your own amount. It takes under a minute.
Is it free?
Yes. Monthly limits with the heads-up, and the weekly review, are on the free plan and are never moved behind Pro.
What if keeping to a limit gets hard?
A limit is a personal aid, not a treatment. If it is getting hard, free and confidential support exists, and our support page lists independent services by country.
