Your spending
is nonsense.
We're here to tell you.

Not another budgeting app you'll delete in two weeks. NonCents connects to your banks and texts you like a friend who cares too much — right next to your iMessages, your group chat, and your mom. (Android too. We don't judge.)

Good morning. You spent $2,340 last week. Eleven restaurant trips. On a teacher's appreciation week budget, apparently.
Your savings rate is 9%. Two months ago it was 19%. That's not a dip. That's a lifestyle change.
Ok wow. Harsh.
You didn't download me to be nice. Want the DoorDash breakdown or do you already know?
...go ahead
DoorDash: $211. One order. For one meal. I'm not even mad, I'm impressed. That's ambition.
It was for the whole family
Six kids. I know. That's $30/plate delivered. Groceries would've been $40 total. Just saying.
How it works

No app to download. No login to forget.
It texts you. You deal with it.

Weekly roast

Week in review: $1,847 spent. Groceries at $412 — honestly, respect. But then you dropped $634 on shopping. Two Amazon orders and a Target run. You went to Target "just for paper towels" again, didn't you?

You reply "break down the Target trip" and NonCents splits it into 14 items. Paper towels were $8. The other $127 was not paper towels.

Reality check

Just saw $189 at Nordstrom Rack. Love a good deal. But clothing is at $430 this month and we're 12 days in. At this pace you'll hit $1,075 by month end. Your average is $280. That's not a deal, that's a spree.

You reply "it was a gift for my wife" and it's recategorized instantly. NonCents responds: "Ok that's actually sweet. Carry on."

The one you don't want

Quick check-in nobody asked for. Your savings rate: 9%. Your goal: 20%. That's $840/month you said you'd save but didn't. Dining is up +$320/mo. And you picked up 3 new subscriptions since December — $47/month you probably forgot about. Want me to list them so you can pretend you'll cancel?

You reply "what subscriptions" and get the list. Then you actually cancel one. NonCents: "Look at you. Growth."

First of month
8:00 AM
Monthly mirror

January is done. The damage: $8,247 spent on $11,200 income. Savings rate: 14% — not your goal, but better than December's 9%. Net worth: $187,420 (up $2,100). Best category: Groceries at $380, lowest in 6 months. Worst: Dining at $1,240. New personal record. Congrats?

One text. Your entire financial month. No pie charts. No login. Just the numbers and the tone you deserve.

Let's be clear

This is not another budgeting app.
You're never going to open those.

NonCents lives right next to your iMessages. No app to download. No login to forget. No dashboard collecting dust in a browser tab you closed three weeks ago. Just a blunt, helpful, slightly rude friend who actually makes you look at your money.

Sees every account you have

Checking, savings, credit cards, investments, retirement — all of it. Calculates your actual net worth. Not the vibes-based number you tell yourself in the shower.

Gets smarter every week

Tell it "Costco under $20 is the food court" once. It remembers forever. Within a month it knows your spending better than you do. Low bar, but still.

No budgets. Not ever.

Budgets are New Year's resolutions for your bank account. NonCents learns what "normal" looks like for you and calls you out when you drift. No envelopes. No categories to maintain. No guilt over a latte.

Texts. Not push notifications.

You ignore app notifications for a living. That's a skill at this point. Texts have a 98% read rate. NonCents lives in your SMS inbox — right next to your group chat, your mom, and your spouse asking "what was that charge?"

Bank-grade. Obviously.

Plaid handles your bank connections — same infrastructure behind Venmo, Robinhood, and every fintech you already use. We never see your password. We just see every transaction. That's the scary part.

It's a conversation, not a report

Text back "how much on groceries?" or "recategorize that as business" or "leave me alone." First two get instant answers. Third one gets cheerfully ignored. You signed up for this.

Real talk

You don't need another app.
You need a friend who won't shut up.

NonCents works on iMessage, Android Messages, whatever you text with. It doesn't care about your phone. It cares about your spending. And it will not stop caring until you do something about it.

You'll love this if:

You make good money but genuinely could not tell me where $2K went last month
You've downloaded Mint, YNAB, and Monarch and opened each one exactly 4 times
You'd rather someone just tell you the answer than show you a chart you won't read
Your partner has said "what was that charge?" more than once this week
Your financial strategy is "I mean... we're not in debt, so it's probably fine?"

Honestly? Skip this if:

You're in a real debt crisis (please go talk to someone, not an app)
You need color-coded pie charts and a 47-tab spreadsheet (Monarch is genuinely great)
You want every dollar assigned to an envelope before you spend it (YNAB was literally made for you)
You're looking for stock picks (we show you numbers, not crystal balls)
You get offended easily (this is not that kind of app — actually, it's not an app at all)
