## What is Almost?

Go through the purchase ritual without buying the item. Almost helps you pause impulse buying, record what tempted you and choose to keep the money instead.

Think of it as a purchase simulation for everyday temptations: add the item and its price, record your decision to skip it, and see the amount you did not spend. No order is placed and no payment is made for that item. The progress you see is based on your entries, not a bank balance.

MAKE THE PAUSE USEFUL
• Save or spend from a temptation card and see the monthly impact first
• Put a purchase in Think Later and return with a clearer head
• Build no-spend streaks without shame or rigid rules

SEE YOUR MONEY PATTERNS
• Get adaptive monthly limits based on your habits
• Review weekly and monthly reports
• Use the impulse map to spot risky days, categories, and triggers
• Track subscriptions, upcoming charges, and recurring pressure

KEEP A GOAL IN SIGHT
• Create savings goals and follow progress over time
• Complete challenges, earn rewards, and care for Almi
• Use home-screen widgets for quick daily context

Almost is a personal decision and planning tool. It is not a bank, does not provide financial advice, and does not move money or confirm transfers.

Some features require Almost Premium, available as an in-app purchase.

### 5/5 — Благодарность создателю сего приложения.

*2025-12-21*

Ознакомившись с Приложением понимаю, что кто сам искушен быв может и искушаемым помощи— прекрасное приложение для самовоспитания—ценить свой труд, ценить свои доходы, ценить время препровождения(дабы не разбрасываться им ходя по.. злачным местам). Всё а очень доступной форме и нужно думать, прежде чем на что-то решиться… Отличное Приложение.🙏🌏🌏🌏🎞️💫💫💫🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉

**Developer response:** Огромное спасибо за такой вдумчивый и тёплый отзыв 🙏
Очень ценно видеть, что приложение воспринимается именно как инструмент осознанности, а не просто трекер трат. Это сильно мотивирует продолжать развивать проект. Спасибо, что пользуетесь ❤️
