## What is Chestnut?

The problem with most budgeting apps is that they only show you what already happened. You review your spending at the end of the month, see that you went over, and do the same thing again next month.

Chestnut takes a different approach: log each purchase the moment you make it. Set a weekly budget, and watch your remaining balance update in real time. That immediate feedback is what actually changes behavior.

Keep it simple — don't worry about rent, subscriptions, or one-off big purchases. Chestnut is for the everyday spending that quietly adds up: coffee, groceries, dinners out, impulse buys.

  - Set a weekly spending budget
  - Log purchases in seconds
  - See how much you have left at a glance
  - Review past weeks to spot trends

No bank linking. No categories to manage. No monthly reports you'll never read. Just a number that tells you whether you can afford dinner out tonight.
