The money's gone and you'd struggle to say where. Probably DoorDash.
An evening text: "How much did you spend today? Just the number." Reply with it. We track it against your weekly budget and warn you Wednesday if you're burning it too fast.

$7/mo
Five skills. SpendAlert counts as one of them.
Questions you're already asking
Do I have to link my bank account?
No, and that's the point. You just reply with today's total each evening. Nothing to connect, nothing to categorize, no permissions to grant. Thirty seconds of honesty is the whole tool.
What's the mid-week warning?
If you've spent more than 70% of your weekly budget by Wednesday, you get a heads-up so the back half of the week doesn't blow the whole thing. Turn it off in setup if you'd rather not.
What if I don't know the exact number?
A close estimate is fine. The habit of noticing is what changes behavior, not accounting to the penny. Reply with your best guess and move on.
How do I cancel?
Text CANCEL SPENDING and we stop. No phone call, no retention rep, no guilt trip.
Does it work on my phone?
It's SMS. If your phone can send a text, it works. No app to download, no smartphone required.
If this isn't your problem
Same category, different nag. One of these might be the one you actually need.
You read the whole page.
Just start.
SpendAlert kicks in the second you text in. The hard part was scrolling this far.
