monetr is a budgeting application that aims to make it easier for people to budget around recurring expenses. While
making it absolutely clear how much you have left over to budget or use for other unplanned spending. It is based off of
the now defunct [Simple](https://web.archive.org/web/20201128231953/https://www.simple.com/). It is also completely free
to [self-host](https://monetr.app/documentation/install/).
