Meet the redesigned Almost Savings. Pause impulse purchases, follow your goals and build more mindful spending habits. Think of it as a purchase simulation for everyday temptations: add the item and its price, record your decision to skip it, and see the amount you did not spend. No order is placed and no payment is made for that item. The progress you see is based on your entries, not a bank balance. Save first. Shop later. Block selected shopping apps. Reach your goal to open one for 30 minutes. Give that purchase some time. Let the impulse pass. Decide when you are ready. Your goal. Getting closer. Keep your savings goal in sight, one decision at a time. Make room for what matters. Plan savings and debt payments. Make transfers in your own bank. See where your money goes. Understand the choices behind your savings and spending. Small steps. Stronger habits. Take on challenges and celebrate progress with Almi. Track the cost of subscriptions. Keep upcoming charges and renewal decisions in view. Some features require Almost Premium, available as an in-app purchase.
