Chrumek is a savings journal with one simple rule: only what you actually set aside counts. Not just “I didn’t buy coffee”, but real money moved into a piggy bank, your account, or an envelope. How it works • You add declared savings to the Journal: – when you skipped a purchase, – when you bought something cheaper (the difference is your saving), – when you canceled a subscription you don’t really use. • When you actually set the money aside, you tap “I added it to savings” and the entry goes to History. • Only these set aside/transferred amounts count toward your goals and stats. What you get • A Journal of entries “to transfer” with quick editing and clean organization • History of savings you actually set aside (you can move an entry back if needed) • Savings goals with progress based on real amounts • Charts: daily rhythm, categories, savings path, yearly summary • A streak that grows when you keep saving for real • Reminders to transfer/set money aside when you have an amount “to transfer” • CSV export if you want to work with the data on your computer Privacy No accounts. No logins. No analytics. Your data stays on your device. And remember: Chrumek believes in real transfers, not intentions.
