Android widget to view balance and spending

[Iron_uiklon (Thomas Wells)]

Hey!

Loving the app so far but with only one thing missing for me. With Santander I can quickly check my balance on my home screen. I use this alot to keep track at a glance.

Would it be possible to create a widget to show some balance information on Android?

Monzo Widgets - Android

Now that monzo is on android it would be great to see widget support! A widget showing monthly spend and daily spend would be great! This would provide really quick access to monzo info!

Two votes in nearly 6 years, I wouldn’t hold out much hope!

[Android] Balance widget

Android homescreen balance widget, or shows progress to saving goals. Low developmental intensity, and gives android another distinct feature like app shortcuts

Slightly more popular.

I’m sure many people would want this, and if it does become a reality I hope they make a better job of it than they did with the iOS widget, which will only ever update if you open the app.

Hi Thomas & welcome

There’s a way to do some clever stuff with IFTTT, Google sheets and Meta Widget for
It looks complex at first but it isn’t really and you can also customise the Google sheet data to provide something more tuned into your daily financial habits:

[Android] Balance widget

There’s a DIY version, using IFTTT and a Google sheet. This is probably more complex as it works out a calculated daily budget to display as a widget, but the sheet could be modified to show the daily balance instead; https://community.monzo.com/t/monzo-ifttt-share-your-creations-here/39383/153?u=davidwalton (only for Personal Accounts, as IFTTT has no triggers available for Joint Accounts yet)
