A sample question and answer, on made-up data.

How much did I spend eating out this month?

The app’s Month screen, shown in French: October 2026, what needs attention and how the pay is split.

$386.22 of the $400 planned for restaurants and cafés. You have $13.78 left until the end of the month.

“Where did my money go this month?”

It’s all on the first screen, updated every time you import a statement.

Your month at a glance

Your budget groups against what you planned, this week’s allowance for each card, and what needs your attention.

The month’s budget groups, in French: groceries, health and care, fixed bills, restaurants and cafés, each with its planned amount.

Statements, imported once

Download your bank’s statement (OFX, QFX or CSV) and import it. A transaction that’s already in never comes back as a duplicate. Fix a category, and the correction carries forward.

The same statement imported a second time: no new transactions, four already imported.

The assistant Example, made-up data

Why did my groceries go over in October?

You’re at $660.44 of $600. The gap comes mostly from two big orders, on October 12 and 26.

I also noticed Pharmacie du coin is filed under Groceries. I suggest:

File “Pharmacie du coin” under Health and care

  • Fill in my return: the T2125 and TP-80, line by line, beside your tax software.
  • The quick method for GST and QST compared with the regular method.

“More questions?”

How much does it cost?

Nothing during the beta. The app is free for the whole private beta.

How do I get an invitation?

The beta is private: access is by invitation. Join the waitlist and we’ll write to you when your spot is ready.

Does it work with my bank?

If your bank or credit union lets you download your statements as OFX, QFX or CSV files, yes. Look for the download option on your bank’s website, often near your transaction history.

You can also connect your bank through Plaid: your transactions then arrive without you downloading anything.

Will you ask for my bank password?

Never. If you connect your bank, you sign in in Plaid’s window: your password never goes through the app. You can also import your statements yourself.

Who answers my questions, exactly?

An artificial intelligence model: Command A, from the Canadian company Cohere, running in Microsoft Azure. Your questions may be processed outside Canada.

The assistant reads your figures to answer and suggests changes that you approve. It never moves money and gives no investment advice.

Where is my data stored?

Your data is hosted in Canada: the app and your files in Québec City, the database in Toronto, with Microsoft Azure. No ads, and your data is never sold.

Does it help with my Québec taxes?

Yes, if you’re self-employed or rent out a unit. The app prepares the T2125 and TP-80 figures, or the T776 and TP-128 figures, line by line, and compares the two GST and QST methods.

You enter those figures in your tax software: the app does not file the return for you.

Can I take my data with me?

Yes. Export it whenever you like, and delete your account and your data whenever you like.

“Can I try it?”

Yes, by invitation. The private beta is free. Leave your email and we’ll write to you when your spot is ready.
