mountet is an envelope budget for people who are done guessing. Assign the money you actually have, spend against the plan you made, and watch a year of small decisions add up to something.
Budget the balance you have today — not the paycheck you are hoping for.

The whole system is three moves.
Not a dashboard to study. A loop you run once a month, in the order that keeps the numbers honest.
01
Assign what you have
Money arrives, and you give every dollar a job before you spend it. Not a forecast of what you might earn — the balance actually sitting in your accounts, split across envelopes you chose.
02
Spend from an envelope
Transactions land against the category you funded. The question stops being “can I afford this?” and becomes “is there room in this envelope?” — which you can answer in a second.
03
Close the month, keep the lesson
At month end you see where the plan held and where it didn’t, then carry the correction forward. The overspend is information, not a verdict.
A year of corrections, in one line.
No single month changes much. The line is what changes. mountet keeps every account in one running total so the trend is the first thing you see, not something you have to assemble.

Sharp where it counts. Quiet everywhere else.
- Color means exactly one thing
- Teal is on track, amber is close to the limit, red is over. A category’s own color never doubles as a health signal, so a glance is never ambiguous — and every state is spelled out in words too.
- Money is the loudest element
- Amounts are set in a monospaced face at tabular widths. Columns line up down the page, so you compare by scanning rather than by reading.
- Nothing nags you
- No badges you can’t clear, no streak to protect, no confetti for spending less on coffee. When the month is fine, the interface says so once and goes quiet.
