THE MONTHLY FIELD NOTES /03
Build the month once. Adjust it as real life happens.
Monthly turns a short setup into one live number: what remains after the commitments and priorities you chose to protect.
THE MONTHLY METHOD
Five steps from income to a usable plan
- 01
Sign in without losing earlier data
Use Google or email and password. If you already used Monthly, identity resolution keeps the wallet attached to its existing owner.
- 02
Enter this month's income
Start with what is actually coming in. Variable income can be adjusted whenever the picture changes.
- 03
Add commitments and priorities
Record bills, instalments, recurring costs, investments, debt and anything that must be protected before everyday spending.
- 04
Set reserves
Decide what should remain available for each weekend or category instead of hoping the bank balance lasts.
- 05
Use the free amount and keep it current
Monthly recalculates what remains. Update it in the app or, when available, through confirmed WhatsApp text and menus.
OPTIONAL WHATSAPP FLOW
A convenient channel with the same account rules
WhatsApp does not create a second wallet. It is a guarded interface to the same Monthly account.
- 01
Link
Generate a one-time code in Settings and send it from the WhatsApp number you control. The code expires after 15 minutes.
- 02
Choose a language
Monthly detects supported Spanish and English variants. If the first message is ambiguous, it asks and saves the choice.
- 03
Ask or select
Use a direct command, ordinary text or a guided menu to query the month or propose a change.
- 04
Review and stay in control
Monthly validates every proposal. Receipts always require confirmation; only high-confidence text rules you explicitly enable in Smart mode may apply automatically.
- 05
Stay inside the safeguards
Free-capacity, service-window and privacy checks can pause an optional action. The bot explains the reason whenever a safe free reply remains possible.
SAFETY CHECKS
Convenience never bypasses control
Optional automation can stop; core account protections do not.
- No bank credentials or automatic bank connection
- No AI model writes directly to the wallet
- Revision checks prevent silent overwrites
- Receipt files are not persisted after in-memory processing
- CSV, Excel and complete backup exports remain available
