## What is Apogee?

Your brokerage app shows your balance. It never shows the distance — when you'll actually be free.
Apogee turns every purchase into what it really costs: days of financial freedom. Before you buy.
No bank linking. No account. No ads. Everything stays on your device.

◆ Sound familiar?
· Your balance grows, but "how far to my goal" stays a mystery
· The goal feels so far away that saving loses its meaning
· Impulse buys quietly eat what you meant to save
· Budgeting apps died after two weeks of manual entry

◆ What Apogee does

1) Your Apogee — the date you become free
Enter net worth, monthly investing, expected return, and your target (about 60 seconds).
"Your Apogee: March 2044." Your goal becomes a date, not an abstract number.
Set the target directly, or estimate it as yearly expenses × 25 (the 4% rule of thumb).

2) See the real price tag
Add anything you're tempted by — name and price. Apogee instantly translates:
"That $200 = your freedom moves 12 days away."
You can still buy it. Apogee never blocks you. It just shows you the distance.

3) Sleep on it — 48 hours
Cool each temptation for 48 hours (or 7 days). When time's up, one quiet notification:
"Still want it?" Behavioral research suggests most impulses fade after a few days.
If you still want it — buy it proudly. That's not an impulse anymore. That's a choice.

4) Every resist banks days
Choose "resisted" and your freedom date moves closer: +12 days, banked.
Streaks, monthly gains, all-time totals, milestones — saving stops being deprivation
and becomes a game of pulling your future closer.
Bought it anyway? No guilt. Tomorrow you bank days again.

5) Home Screen widget (Pro)
Your countdown and this month's banked days — visible without opening the app.

◆ Privacy is the feature
· No bank linking — your accounts stay yours
· No sign-up, no email
· All data lives on your device. Nothing is sent to a server
· No ads, no tracking

◆ Pricing
Free: the full loop for up to 3 temptations, plus your countdown meter.
Pro: unlimited temptations, Home Screen widget, CSV export, full streak history.
Yearly (7-day free trial), monthly, or a one-time lifetime purchase.

◆ Made for you if…
· You're on the path to FIRE, Coast FIRE, or Barista FIRE
· You want fewer impulse buys without tracking every coffee
· Budget apps never stuck — Apogee only cares about the big purchases
· You want your savings motivation to survive the years the market goes sideways

◆ Note
Apogee's projections are general simulations based on your inputs — not investment advice,
and not a guarantee of future results. Investment decisions are your own.
