## What is BudgetBear?

The private savings tracker that tells you when you can afford each purchase.

Turn your wishlist into a clear timeline. BudgetBear takes the guesswork out of goal tracking by calculating the earliest date you can afford each item on your list. By combining your priorities with your planned payments, BudgetBear turns your savings plan into concrete purchase dates, so you always know when your next target becomes affordable.

BudgetBear is your private purchase date calculator. Add your goals and their prices, prioritize what you want to buy first, and plan your deposits or withdrawals. BudgetBear then calculates when each goal becomes affordable.

KNOW EXACTLY WHEN YOU CAN BUY

Take full control of your long-term spending and savings goals with a system built around clarity:
• Priority-Based Wishlists: Add target items (goals) with estimated prices and drag them into your exact order of preference.
• Dynamic Timeline Calculation: Watch your purchase dates update instantly when you adjust prices, add deposits, or reorder goals.
• Flexible Cash Flow: Add single deposits to fill budgets or log withdrawals if you decide to reallocate money elsewhere.
• Scheduled Payments: Set up recurring, finite deposit or withdrawal schedules (e.g., every 2nd Tuesday or on payday) to keep your timeline automated.

KEY FEATURES FOR YOUR SAVINGS GOALS

• Priority Savings Projects: Group related goals into dedicated projects for travel, electronics, household upgrades, or emergency reserves.
• Smart Allocation: Funds are automatically directed toward your highest-priority goal until it is fully funded before rolling over to the next.
• Simple & Minimalist: A clean, distraction-free interface built for quick entry without fluff or complex menu structures.
• Finite Recurring Schedules: Set start dates, end dates, and intervals for recurring contributions without complex rules.
