Why the Rat

Budget apps are sad. He's not.

A coach that reacts to every expense

One line, not a report. He teases the purchase, never you. And you can ask him where you stand, like you'd ask a buddy.

Le Rat, arms crossed, looking like he knows it all
0

bank connections

No login to hand over, no aggregator, no sync that breaks. Your bank, your country: doesn't matter.

One photo, every line

Amount, merchant, category and every line of the receipt are suggested in one go. You confirm or fix.

A streak that keeps you at it

One entry a day and your streak climbs. Starter quests to build the habit from week one.

Bills post themselves

Rent, internet, gym: declare them once, and the expense is logged on the due date.

152

currencies, and every expense keeps its rate

Budget in dollars, coffees in baht: he converts when you log it and locks that day's rate. Your history stops moving.

Paid in dollars, living in baht?

Le Rat speaks 152 currencies. Your budget stays in yours, and every expense keeps that day's rate.

Two currencies, zero mental math

Budget in dollars, spending in baht: the conversion happens when you log it.

The rate is locked

What you paid stays what you paid: your history doesn't move when the exchange rate does.

Offline converter

The last known rate is kept, so it works even without a network, at the market or at the register.

What changes

No more “where did my money go?”

End of the month: surprise.

You know every day how much you can spend.

Today's budget recalculates with every expense. No more guessing, no more opening your banking app with trembling hands.

Le Rat jots something in his notebook
The spreadsheet you dropped in February.

A photo or a sentence, and it's filed.

No cells, no formulas. You log the way you talk, he does the rest.

Savings by gut feeling.

Your cushion, counted in months.

Six months of expenses covered: healthy. Three to six: keep an eye on it. Under three: fragile.

Apps that lecture you.

A coach that makes you laugh, and come back.

He teases the expense, never you. The result: you log your spending instead of running from it.

Questions

What people ask us.

Why no bank connection?

Because you shouldn't have to hand your banking credentials to a budget app. With no aggregator, nothing breaks when your bank changes something, and the Rat works with any account: online bank, neobank, travel card, cash.

In exchange, every expense goes through you. A photo or a sentence is enough, and that's often where you realize what you spend.

Does he really read my receipts?

Yes: amount, merchant, category and receipt lines are suggested from the photo. You check it and fix it if needed. Like any automatic reading, it can get things wrong: you always have the last word.

Does it work with my currency?

Le Rat knows 152 currencies. Your budget stays in your currency; you can spend in another, and each expense keeps the rate of the day it was logged. If you change your base currency, all your expenses are reconverted.

Is the coach a financial advisor?

No. The Rat is a fictional character whose replies are generated by AI. He comments on your spending with humor; it's neither financial advice nor investment advice.

How much does it cost?

Le Rat runs on a subscription, monthly or annual. 1-month trial with the annual plan, if eligible. The exact price for your country is shown in the app before any payment.

How do I cancel?

From your Apple account settings (Subscriptions) or from Google Play (Payments & subscriptions). To pay nothing at the end of the trial, cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. Details in the terms of use (in French).

What happens to my data?

It's used to make your budget work: no ads, no resale. Receipt photos and messages to the coach go through an AI provider to produce the reply; Le Rat doesn't use them to train a model. You can export it from the app and delete your account at any time; deletion is immediate. It's all explained in the privacy policy (in French).

Which phones does it run on?

iPhone (iOS 15.5 or later) and Android, through the App Store and Google Play. The app comes in French and English.
