About
In Japan, the money you didn't spend on a small temptation has a name: "pretend savings".
Tsumori turns that moment into money kept — in a notebook that feels like Japanese stationery.
Pretend you bought a latte: ¥500. Pretend you grabbed a snack: ¥200.
When you skip it, tap the sticky note. That amount piles up toward your goal.
■ One tap, answered with a hanamaru
Recording takes a single tap. A hand-drawn hanamaru — the flower stamp Japanese
teachers press on work well done — lands with a satisfying pop, and a sticky note
goes up on your cork board. Your effort is something you can see.
■ Tap right from your Home Screen
Widgets come in three styles: sticky notes, board, and notebook. Tap a sticky note
on your Home Screen and Tsumori opens with it already recorded.
If you hide amounts, the widget hides them too.
■ A month of effort, kept on the board
Sticky notes pile up on the monthly board. When the month ends, the board is saved
as a photo in the Recap tab. The proof of your effort never disappears.
■ How far to the fun part?
"Concert tickets", "Trip to Kyoto" — attach a date you're looking forward to.
Tsumori predicts when you'll get there at your current pace, so every skip
feels like getting closer.
■ We don't count streaks
There are no streaks in this app. Take a day off — nothing breaks, nothing scolds you.
A day without a record isn't a failure. It's just a quiet day. Come back when you feel like it.
■ A notebook that's yours alone
Saving is sometimes a private thing.
Cover your total with a strip of masking tape. Lock the app with Face ID.
When you switch apps, only the notebook cover is visible — never your numbers.
■ Dress it up like Japanese stationery
Paper, ruled lines, tape, sticky notes, ink colors, hanko stamps, notebook covers.
Make it a notebook that fits your hand.
■ Your records belong to you
Records are automatically backed up to your own iCloud, and restored when you
change phones. You can export your records as a file anytime. Your data is never held hostage.
■ One-time purchase
Removing ads and unlocking all stationery is a single one-time purchase.
No subscriptions. Everything about recording stays free.
For you if:
- Budgeting apps never stuck
- You're saving toward something fun — concerts, trips, treats
- You'd rather keep your savings to yourself
- You love Japanese stationery, journaling, and all things kawaii
Every skip you keep deserves a hanamaru.
Turn "pretend you bought it" into something to look forward to.
