Your Ultimate Allowance and Motivation Companion! Are you looking for an innovative way to manage your personal allowance while staying motivated to achieve your goals? Look no further! This is the ultimate iOS app designed to help you keep track of your allowance and supercharge your productivity. How it works: 1. Track your tasks using your calendar or to-do list. How you track your task is up to you. Allowly does not track your tasks. 2. When you complete a task, reward yourself by adding allowance in Allowly. This will give you an instant reward to motivate you to complete more tasks or the same task in the future. Again, Allowly does not track, how much you should reward youself for what task. 3. Use your allowance to do something nice for youself. For example, buy yourself a cup of coffee when you have certain amount of allowance. Then deduct the amount from your allowance.l We understand the importance of data privacy. All data is only stored locally on the device. No network is required to use allowly!
