// EDITOR'S TAKE
Monetr is the closest to PocketGuard's central idea of reserving money for upcoming bills and showing what is genuinely free to spend, but it is a small project and depends on a bank-sync provider. Actual is the more solid daily driver with fast local-first budgeting and real polish, though it uses envelope budgeting rather than automatic spare-cash maths, and Maybe leans towards net worth and investments.
