## What is Aside?

Most savings apps make you feel guilty. Aside does the opposite — celebrate the purchases you resist, and watch that money push a goal you actually care about forward. No shame, no streaks to break, no leaderboards. Just proof you're getting better at the one skill that actually moves the needle.

Say no. Watch it count. Tempted by something you don't need? Log it in seconds — Pip, Aside's resident squirrel, cheers every single time. Choose whether you actually moved the money to your goal, or just avoided the spend — Aside is always honest about what's real progress and what's a skill you're building.

It counts both ways. Closing the gap on a goal isn't just about spending less — it's about making more too. Log extra income you put toward a goal exactly like you log a resisted purchase. Both are progress. Both get celebrated.

Watch yourself get better. A weekly completion ring (never a streak to fear breaking), a real trend of your resisted spending over time, and an honest comparison to your own last 30 days — never to other people. This is the actual feedback loop that builds the habit.

Goals that feel real. Create funds for a trip, an emergency cushion, a big purchase — anything. Set a target date and get a calm, once-and-done "suggested weekly amount" (never a nagging notification). Multiple currencies supported, no conversions, no confusion.

Premium unlocks:

Unlimited funds
Full resisted-purchase history and insights
Gentle daily reminders (never guilt-based)
CSV export
Free: your first 5 funds, the full resist-log loop, and weekly progress tracking — no credit card required to start.

Aside doesn't link to your bank. Everything is entered by you, on your terms — no scraping, no sharing, no surprises.
