Statements parsed. Charges explained.

Most apps stop at the bank-transaction description. Lossless reads the receipt, the statement PDF, the email confirmation, and the calendar — and explains every charge in your life.

What you get

Every charge, finally explainable.

Monarch and Copilot stop at the merchant string. Lossless goes one layer deeper — it reads the email receipt, the statement PDF, the calendar invite, the iMessage thread, and the photo of the paper receipt — and produces one record per charge, with everything attached.

  • ✓ Statements (HELOC, mortgage, brokerage) parsed into typed line items
  • ✓ "What was that charge?" → real answer, with receipt
  • ✓ Couples / household: shared records without losing per-person privacy
  • ✓ Year-end CPA bundle: every line cites email + PDF + bank entry
  • ✓ Continuous, year-round — not a tax-season scramble

A single charge with receipt, invoice, and Plaid match attached.

A real week

Six charges. Six explanations.

Where competitors stop

What Monarch / Copilot / YNAB don't do.

Bank text only

"SQ*MERCHANT $412"

Most apps give you the merchant string. Lossless gives you the matching email receipt, the line-item PDF, the calendar context, and the iMessage thread.

PDF as opaque blob

HELOC, mortgage, brokerage

Other apps store the PDF and call it done. Lossless extracts every line item — principal, interest, escrow, dividends — into typed records you can query.

No vehicle data

Tesla & FasTrak

Mileage and tolls deductions left on the table by every personal-finance app. Lossless has the data source.

No memory

Persistent context

Monarch's AI Assistant forgets between sessions. Lossless's chat is grounded in your actual records.

No CPA bundle

Year-end export

Schedule E summaries are everywhere. Source-attached, audit-defensible bundles aren't.

Tax season went from a Saturday to a chat message. The CPA called to ask which app I used.
