Quick start

Wingspan works in Chrome and Edge on Monarch’s web app. Firefox and Safari builds are experimental, and the README explains how to load each.

Store listings for the Chrome Web Store and Edge Add-ons are on the way. Until then, build it from source:

Terminal window
git clone https://github.com/axerieSoftware/wingspan.git
cd wingspan
npm install
npm run build:edge # or npm run build:chrome for Chrome
  1. Open edge://extensions (or chrome://extensions).
  2. Turn on Developer mode.
  3. Click Load unpacked and choose .output/edge-mv3 (or .output/chrome-mv3).

Wingspan adds to Monarch’s newer Recurring page. In Monarch, go to Settings → Early Access and turn on Recurring 2.0.

  1. Open Recurring while signed in to Monarch.
  2. Choose Add recurring → Add manually.
  3. Set Type to Card payment or Bill. Wingspan shows its own fields in place of Monarch’s.
  4. Save. It shows up with Monarch’s recurring items, sorted by date.

On Cash Flow, open Edit cash and cards and choose your checking accounts, which cards count, and how much to keep in checking. Recurring’s month summary links there too.

Open DevTools → Network and filter by client=wingspan to see every request Wingspan sends to Monarch, and whether Monarch rejected any. If it did, open an issue.

Wingspan is an unofficial, open-source extension by Axerie Software. It isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Monarch Money.
