See Where Your Money Went LastMonth

LastMonth was born from my frustration working with clients who couldn’t quickly ascertain where their money went over the past month.

Many households have over 100 financial transactions every month, and the existing solutions are far too complex: sign-ups, logins, third-party bank scraping, lost transactions, and recurring fees.

I wanted a way to get quick snapshots of past spending without jumping through hoops, so I built LastMonth to meet that need.

It’s a privacy-first web app that gives you a monthly spending snapshot in minutes: no sign-ups, no bank connections, no fees.

Dessert 🍰

[The servants of the Lord of Mercy] are those who spend neither wastefully nor stingily, but moderately in between.

Stay away from riba. Both true, both important. But we rarely get into the how. How do we find financial clarity as Muslims? How do we...
