## What is HoursTag?

What does it really cost? Not in dollars — in hours of your life.

HoursTag turns any price into the work hours it takes you to earn it. A $129 pair of sneakers isn't "$129" — it's half a day at work. Once you see money this way, you spend with clarity instead of regret.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Set your income once — hourly or monthly. HoursTag works out your real hourly value.
2. Enter a price. Instantly see it as work time.
3. Tag it Need, Want or Impulse — and watch your patterns appear.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Turn money into time instantly, in your own currency
• Tag spending as Need, Want or Impulse
• Track goals and a wishlist in real work hours, with live progress
• See spending insights by category, with a clear monthly breakdown
• View any purchase as a percentage of your workday
• Create custom categories with your own icon and color
• Switch between beautiful light and dark themes
• Use the app in 17 languages
• Back up and restore your data whenever you want

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No sign-up. No tracking. No ads. Everything stays on your device — always.

PAY ONCE, OWN IT FOREVER
HoursTag is a one-time purchase. No subscription, no hidden upgrades, nothing to renew.

Time is the one currency you can't earn back. Spend it on purpose — with HoursTag.
