Manual tracking
Log each expense as it happens (EMOH: two taps). Highest awareness — the act of logging changes behaviour.
Automatic tracking
Connect your bank (EMOH Pro via Plaid) and transactions import themselves. Zero effort, full coverage.
The hybrid
Automatic import plus a weekly 5-minute review to fix categories. Most people's sweet spot.
Make it stick
Track everything for one full month before judging the numbers — the first month is diagnosis, not discipline.
Put the guide into practice
Reading is step one. EMOH Pay turns it into a system: budgets, tracking, goals and a daily digest — free to start.
