About Monarch Money

Monarch brings bank and investment accounts together into one view and categorizes transactions automatically. From there you can follow net worth, day-to-day spending and cash flow, build a flexible budget and set financial goals.

A partner or financial professional can be invited to see the same picture and budget together at no extra cost. It is available on the web and as apps for iPhone and Android. It relies on connecting accounts to Monarch's service rather than keeping data locally.
