Connect your bank and let transactions track themselves
Stop typing every expense. Connect your US or Canada bank account once and CleverNote pulls your transactions in automatically, read-only through Plaid, organized next to the receipts and notes you already capture. Then ask in plain English: where did my money go last month? And the answer comes with the source.
Real example
Where did my money go last month?
CA$4,180 total: biggest slices groceries (CA$980) and bills (CA$760), pulled straight from your bank.

How it works
- Open Finances and connect your bank through Plaid, the same secure service banks and finance apps use. CleverNote never sees your password.
- Your transactions land in Finances on their own, each marked with its bank of origin, alongside expenses you snap from receipts or type.
- Spending rolls up into a dashboard by category and month, in your timezone.
- Ask in chat: how much did I spend on groceries in May? The answer cites the transactions.
Why CleverNote for this
- Read-only by design: CleverNote reads to organize and never moves, transfers or pays anything. Disconnect anytime and that bank's data leaves with it.
- Your bank, your receipts and your typed notes in one place, not a separate budgeting silo.
- Ask in plain language and get the answer with the source transaction, not just a chart.
- Private by default: export or delete everything anytime, no training on your data.
If you want spending tracked without typing, and answers about your money that cite the source, connecting your bank to CleverNote turns your account into searchable, private memory.
