Discount Diary β€” Your Personal Sale Almanac Ever wondered why you always seem to miss the best sales? Or bought something full price, only to see it go on sale a week later? Discount Diary changes that. Discount Diary is a beautifully designed personal journal for logging the sales and discounts you observe every day β€” at grocery stores, clothing retailers, electronics shops, and everywhere in between. Over time, your diary becomes a powerful almanac that reveals the hidden rhythm of every store's sale cycle. How It Works Every time you spot a sale, log it. Just three taps β€” pick the category, choose the store, set the discount. That's it. No accounts, no cloud sync required, no complexity. As your diary grows, Discount Diary's built-in cycle engine analyses your observations and starts surfacing intelligent insights. When was the last time this item went on sale? How often does it typically cycle? Is now a good time to buy, or should you wait a few more weeks? Key Features Diary-style logging β€” A warm, paper-inspired journal interface that makes logging sightings feel effortless. Ruled pages, date headers, and a clean entry card for every observation. Sale Cycle Insights β€” The Insights tab analyses your logged data and calculates readiness scores, average discount depths, and cycle timing for each category-store pair. Know when "Buy Now" is genuinely the right call. Buy Signals β€” Each insight gets a smart signal: Buy Now, Coming Soon, Watch, or Wait. Stop guessing and start shopping strategically. Archive and Heatmaps β€” The Archive screen gives you a historical view of every category's discount history, plus monthly heat maps (Pro) that show which months historically deliver the deepest cuts. Categories and Stores β€” Built-in categories cover everyday staples: Clothing, Electronics, Groceries, Home, Beauty, and more. Built-in stores cover major retailers. Add your own custom categories and stores anytime. Fully Customisable β€” Edit or hide any built-in category or store. Your diary reflects your shopping life, not a generic template. Beautiful Themes β€” Four hand-crafted colour themes for Pro users: Parchment (the warm default), Midnight (dark mode), Forest (deep green), and Dusk (soft purple). Switch anytime from Settings. Backup and Restore β€” Export your entire diary as a JSON file to iCloud Documents and restore it at any time. Your data is always yours. Almanac Pro Unlock the full power of Discount Diary with a single one-time purchase β€” no subscriptions, ever. Pro features include unlimited diary entries (free tier is capped at 50), full access to the cycle insights engine, monthly heat maps, seasonal trend charts, and all three premium colour themes. Private by Design Discount Diary stores everything locally on your device. There are no accounts to create, no personal data collected, and no third-party analytics. Your diary belongs to you. Perfect For β€” Savvy grocery shoppers who track weekly specials β€” Fashion lovers timing seasonal clearance sales β€” Tech buyers waiting for the right moment on a big purchase β€” Anyone who wants to feel in control of their spending
