Monello
Feel better about money
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad
Monello helps you understand the emotions behind your money decisions. No bank connections, no budgeting. Just real insight into your financial feelings.
Your relationship with money is more than numbers on a screen. Monello helps you understand the emotions, beliefs, and patterns that shape every financial decision you make.
Most financial apps track what you spend. Monello explores why. Built on principles from financial therapy and behavioral psychology, Monello creates a safe, shame-free space to examine your money story — and start rewriting it.
Discover Your Money Story
Take the Money Story Assessment to uncover the emotional patterns driving your financial behavior. Rather than labeling you with a single type, Monello maps your unique relationship with money across multiple dimensions, giving you a personalized narrative that feels like you.
Track How Money Makes You Feel
Monello's check-in system tracks five dimensions of your financial emotional health: anxiety, confidence, energy, optimism, and control. Morning, midday, or evening — a quick check-in takes just 20 seconds and builds a picture of your emotional patterns over time.
Reflect on Your Accounts Without the Numbers
Balance Pulse is a first-of-its-kind feature that tracks how you feel about your accounts — not what's in them. No bank connections. No balance tracking. Just an honest reflection on your relationship with your daily spending, savings, and future investments.
Talk It Through with Pippa
Pippa is your AI financial therapy companion. She helps you explore your money beliefs, earliest financial memories, and the gap between what you believe and how you behave. Pippa is grounding-aware — if emotions run high, she'll gently offer a moment to pause before continuing.
Break Free from Debt — Your Way
Choose from four therapeutic debt payoff strategies, each designed around different psychological needs. Track your progress with milestone celebrations that honor your courage, not just your numbers. Monello meets you where you are, without judgment.
A Journey, Not a Scoreboard
Monello doesn't use streaks, points, or leaderboards. Instead, your progress unfolds as an 8-chapter journey that celebrates discovery, courage, growth, and compassion. Take a break and come back to extra warmth — never guilt.
What Monello Is NOT
Monello is not a budgeting app. It doesn't connect to your bank, track transactions, or give investment advice. If you want to count pennies, there are great apps for that. Monello is for understanding the person behind the pennies.
