Three challenges to save and grow your money. Pick one, switch anytime. THE 5050 CHALLENGE The math is simple: 1 + 2 + 3 + … + 100 = 5050. A hundred buttons, each stamped with a different amount from 1 to 100. Set that amount aside in real life, then tap to mark it done. One at a time or several at once, at your own pace. Check off all hundred and you've saved exactly 5050. • Choose your currency and what each button is worth, from 1 to 10,000 • Over 35 currencies supported • Reminders daily, every few days, or monthly — or skip them and tap when the mood hits • Every tap goes into History, with your savings chart and a daily streak THE 52-WEEK CHALLENGE Save a little more every week for a year. Check off each week as you set the money aside, and watch your total climb. • Pick how many weeks to save for • Choose how the amount grows: a rising step, a falling step, or the same amount each week • Or save toward a set amount: enter the total and the weekly amounts adapt to it • Choose your currency and set a weekly reminder for your deposit day THE COOL-DOWN CHALLENGE Tempted by something? Don't buy it yet. Add it, set the price, and start a timer: 7 days, 30, or your own. The app waits, then nudges you when time's up. Still want it? Buy it. Lost interest? Skip it, and you save the money. • Every skipped purchase counts toward the money you've saved • Real money you didn't spend, tracked automatically • Add a shop link or a note to your future self while you wait No accounts. No subscriptions. Three simple ways to spend less and save more.

Shift is not another journaling app. It's a tool for people who are done tolerating a life that doesn't fit them. Through a transformative onboarding experience and daily pattern interrupts, Shift helps users uncover who they truly want to become - then keeps them aligned with that vision through intentional reflection.
