## What is Amapola?

Amapola is a napkin that runs the math.

Sketch the money question you're actually facing as a few blocks on graph paper: the second car, the childcare change, the new hire. Press play. Watch your balances move week by week, and see what the decision really costs before you make it.

It's a thinking tool, not a tracker. Nothing to connect, nothing to import, no accounts. You build the model; Amapola runs the numbers. When the money runs out, it stops and tells you the day.

FREE, the household napkin:
• Balances, income, recurring costs, savings with compound growth
• One-off and scheduled events (the bonus, the tax bill, the car)
• The timeline: play a week, a month, a year; scrub, or jump to a date
• Runway and break-even, live on the board
• Ready-made starting boards, undo everywhere, autosave
• Export any run as a CSV statement and check every number yourself in a spreadsheet

BUSINESS, for the small-business operator ($7.99/month, first month free):
• Inventory that depletes and auto-restocks: see the shelf run dry before it does
• Products with recipes: per-product cost, margin, and profit
• Hourly payroll that scales with your operating schedule
• Sales growth assumptions and the binding constraint that caps you

Your sketches stay on your device. No account, no bank connection, no analytics, no cloud. Amapola shows estimates from the assumptions you enter. It is not financial, tax, or legal advice.

The Business subscription renews monthly until cancelled. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
