About

Scotage

Features
Read full description

Scotage is a personal log of lots that bill this month. A Scot pin marks the month you can bear. The hand aims at the largest overrun lot so that tap can file it quit. • Lots that bill now ring the rim. The needle is the period-normalized month total. Year is that total times twelve. Cancel-savings is the sum of quit lots. • Add a lot with Lot name, Amount, Period (Weekly, Monthly, Yearly, or No period), and Next charge. • Only the aimed lot can quit. That tap files a quit and the needle falls. Any other tap cools the arc and leaves the hand. • Insights lists Quit marks, Cooled misses, Leftover overrun, and Mystery charges (No period or Shared charge day). • Settings holds Currency, Scot pin, Local reminder, Reminder time, Contact, How Aim then Quit works, Re-run onboarding, and Reset all data. • Currency stays on this device. There is no bank login. Open Insights to read filed quits. Open Settings to set the Scot. How Aim then Quit works explains that only the aimed lot can quit.
