Secured by default

Every dollar you keep is yours. Hit the goal you set and your subscription comes back too, so the month you win costs you nothing.

We can see your accounts. We can’t touch them.

NO TRANSFERS
Nothing in Almonds can move a dollar of yours. There is no button for it, on our side or yours.
READ ONLY
We can list your transactions. That is the whole permission.
WE NEVER SEE YOUR LOGIN
You sign in through Plaid, not through us. Your bank credentials never touch Almonds. We receive a read-only token, nothing else.
CANCEL ANYTIME
Two taps in your Apple settings. No call, no retention maze.
Bank connections by
The same link behind Venmo, Robinhood, and Chime.Plaid connects 12,000 banks, and one in two US adults with a bank account has used it.

Control should not look complicated.

Almonds Money preview 1

You know where you stand.

Almonds Money preview 2

You know where it went.

Almonds Money preview 3

You know what you’re chasing.

Making it is one thing.
Keeping it is another.

Every app you deleted asked you to care harder. Caring runs out around week three.

Almonds settles it. One number, moving because you decided it would.

Simple on purpose.

Connect one account. Set one goal. See the month clearly.

1Set the goal.
2Reach the goal.
3Get the month back.

No spreadsheets. No manual logging. Miss a month, pick right back up the next.

What you get.

Six things. That is the whole app, on purpose.

One number

Where the month stands, every time you look. Moving because you decided it would.

One account

Connect the account you actually spend from. That is the whole setup.

Categories you can read

Transactions arrive sorted wrong. We rebuilt the sorting ourselves.

One goal

Pick the month’s number. Almonds keeps you honest about it.

The refund

Hit the goal and the subscription comes back. That is the business model, not a promotion.

A clean miss

Miss a month and you keep every dollar you saved. Pick right back up the next. Nothing resets but the calendar.

Not for everyone.

Worth knowing before you connect an account.

Made for you if
  • Money comes in on a rhythm and still disappears unexplained.
  • You spend from one main account or card.
  • You want one number to watch, not a system to maintain.
  • You would rather be kept honest than be taught a method.
Not your tool if
  • Anyone in real financial trouble. This is not a hardship tool.
  • Income that swings hard month to month.
  • Assigning every dollar a job.
  • Connecting your mortgage, 401k, and crypto wallet before it works.
  • Fifty charts explaining that you spent money at restaurants.

Why this exists

Knowing what to do was never the problem.

I learned that from losing weight, not from managing money. I always knew what I was supposed to do. The only thing that ever made me follow through was knowing I got something back at the end.

So we built the same deal for money.

Six months of building it, with my best friend from high school.

Plaid gives us the transactions just fine. It gives them back sorted wrong, and we were not going to hand you mislabeled groceries, so we rebuilt the categorization ourselves.

I bought a jeweler’s loupe to check the button sizing on the goal screen, which makes me look insane in coffee shops. I came from aerospace. It gives you an idea of the level we are working at.

Almonds is for the person who knows they make money, has no idea where half of it went, and wants something simple that finally gets them ahead.

You connect the one account you actually spend from. We show you what came in, what went out, and what you could realistically cut. You pick the goal. We keep you honest about it.

Handing our own revenue back to customers is a ridiculous way to run a company. It turns out that when you give the money back, you do not have it to grow with. We will burn cash on the first hundred people and I am fine with that.

I would rather you get more out of this than we do.

We are looking for people who want something easy and will tell us when it does not make sense. You do not have to be polite about it. That is the entire point of a beta.

We refund the first hundred out of pocket, so the beta stops there.

Fair questions. Straight answers.

Almonds is a savings app that refunds your subscription when you hit your monthly goal.

We make money on the months people miss their goal. That's the honest answer, and it's exactly why the app is built to help you hit it. The longer answer: we want you to get immense value, and we'll burn cash proving it. Whatever eventually makes this profitable, it will not be raising prices and it will not be retiring the payback model, and you'll hear about any change before it happens. The long game is making Almonds a standard, and saving as ordinary as brushing your teeth.

Real. Hit the goal you set and the fee returns to the card you paid with, after a short review to confirm the month closed out. Not points, not in-app credit. Your money, back.

You keep every dollar you actually saved. What you don’t get back is that month’s fee. No penalty on top, no reset of your progress. You just miss the refund that month and start clean the next.

We do. It sounds backwards until you notice you get it back. The fee isn’t the price of the app, it’s the stake. Complete your month and it returns. Skip it if that still feels off. We only keep it when you miss.

Only look. Your accounts are connected for tracking, not moving. Almonds reads your transactions to follow your goal, and it can’t move a cent.

You pick it, not us. Almonds shows you the month plainly so the number is grounded in your real spending, then tracks it. Set it too high and you can lower it. The goal is meant to be hit, not to look impressive.

About as hard as tapping twice. It’s a standard App Store subscription, so you cancel from your Apple settings whenever you want. No call, no retention maze, no guilt screen.

It’s for people who earn enough to feel fine and still can’t say where the month went. Not a debt program, not a hardship app. A way to see the month clearly and keep the plan you set for it.

Because the other four asked you to care, and caring runs out around week three. This one puts money on the month. Hitting it pays you back, missing it costs you the fee. That changes the math on whether you open the app.

There was never one to fire. This site is one founder and an AI he argues with, and the argument is the quality control: every claim on this page had to survive it. If a line ever reads like marketing wrote it, text Gabe. He'll lose the argument on purpose.
