Choose a currency and a category, then personalize it with a color and a motivational message. Keep several savings goals organized in one place. TRACK MONEY YOU SET ASIDE Enter contributions and withdrawals manually. Frugal updates your saved amount, remaining amount and completion percentage. Your savings history keeps the dates and amounts of your entries together. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Review progress charts, savings statistics and calendar entries.

Use USD, EUR, TRY or another supported currency, and choose how currency information is displayed. GOAL TRACKING WITHOUT A BANK CONNECTION Your goal records are stored locally on your device.

*** Promised - Focus on What Matters *** Promised is a minimalist promise-keeping app designed with intention. Unlike traditional task managers that can become overwhelming, Promised helps you focus on what truly matters by limiting you to three active promises at a time. -> Key Features: - Thoughtful Limitation: Maintain focus by having only three active promises at once - Visual Progress: Each promise is represented by a customizable circle that you can personalize with colors or photos - Meaningful Reflection: Complete promises to move them to your achievement gallery - Distraction-Free Design: Clean, beautiful interface that helps you stay centered on your commitments - iCloud Sync: Keep your promises synchronized across all your devices -> Why Three Promises? Research shows that focusing on fewer goals leads to better outcomes. Promised enforces this wisdom by design, encouraging you to prioritize what matters most. When you want to add a new promise, you'll need to either complete or reassess your current ones—creating a mindful cycle of commitment and achievement. -> Your Achievement Gallery Every completed promise becomes part of your personal achievement gallery. Review your past accomplishments anytime for motivation and reflection, creating a visual journey of your progress. -> Perfect for: - Personal development goals - Building new habits - Managing key priorities - Mindful goal-setting - Focus enhancement Transform how you make and keep commitments. Sometimes, less truly is more.
