Knowing today's balance isn't enough — irregular bills and income create surprise shortfalls. ClearMint Essentials is a cash flow tracker built into a privacy-first personal finance dashboard.

What problem it solves

Knowing today's balance isn't enough — irregular bills and income create surprise shortfalls.

How it works

Step by step

  1. Open the Cash Flow tab for a 12-month projection.
  2. Recurring income, bills, and expenses drive the forecast.
  3. Add sinking funds, future one-offs, and a safety buffer.
  4. See your lowest projected balance across the horizon.

Examples

Model a $2,000 vacation in August, $500/month car sinking fund, and see March as the tightest month.
