Keep

Traditional budgeting apps are depressing. They punish you for spending and make managing your money feel like a chore. Keep is the "un-spending" tracker. We believe you should get a dopamine hit for the money you don't spend. Every day, we are tempted by $5 coffees, $20 online gadgets, and $15 takeout meals. Keep helps you build wealth by gamifying your financial discipline. Set a major financial goal, and watch it turn into a massive visual grid. Every time you resist an impulse buy, open Keep and log the thing you didn't buy. Watch the grid instantly fill in with satisfying haptic feedback, visually rewarding your progress. HOW IT WORKS: • The Visual Grid: Turn abstract savings into a highly satisfying, dot-by-dot visual representation. • Skipped Spends: Use our lightning-fast, intuitive currency input to log the money you skipped spending in seconds. • 100% Private: Zero complex bank API integrations. Keep requires no connection to your actual bank accounts. All data is stored locally on your device for ultimate privacy and frictionless tracking. Keep Pro (One-Time Lifetime Upgrade): Unlock the ultimate savings toolkit with a single, one-time purchase of $9.99. No monthly subscriptions. • Multiple Goals: Track and visualize multiple financial targets simultaneously. • Deep Personalization: Customize your grid with premium accent colours and unlock alternate app icons. • Biometric Security: Lock your financial data behind FaceID or TouchID. • Custom Reminders: Set personalized notifications to keep your savings habits on track. • Data Export: Export your entire goal history to CSV for external spreadsheets.

Save for what matters, one jar at a time. Pottle is a private savings goal tracker: give every goal its own money jar and watch it fill up with each deposit. No account. No bank connection. No tracking. Your data stays on your device. HOW IT WORKS • Create a savings jar for anything you want: a trip, a car, a house deposit, a gift or a rainy-day fund. • Set a goal amount, an optional deadline, a color and an emoji icon. • Log deposits and withdrawals by hand, with an optional note. • Watch the jar fill with animated liquid as your savings grow. • See your progress at a glance: percentage, “X of Y” saved and days left. • Check the recent activity for every jar. CELEBRATE EVERY GOAL When a jar reaches its savings goal, Pottle celebrates with confetti and moves it to Achievements, so you can look back at everything you have saved for. A GENTLE NUDGE EACH WEEK Turn on the weekly reminder, choose the day and time, and Pottle will remind you to feed your jars. Small, regular deposits add up. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Pottle works fully offline. There is no sign-up, no cloud and no bank linking. Your goals and balances live only on your phone. Nobody else can see them, not even us. FREE, WITH A ONE-TIME UPGRADE Pottle is free with one active jar. Premium is a one-time purchase, no subscription: • Unlimited active jars, so every goal gets its own piggy bank. • Encrypted local backup and restore: protect the backup file with AES-256 encryption and a 4-digit PIN, save it wherever you like through the share sheet, and merge or replace your data when you import it. LITTLE THINGS YOU WILL LIKE • US dollar, euro and British pound. • Dark and light themes. • Subtle haptic feedback. • Available in English, Spanish, French, German and Catalan. Whether it is a vacation fund, a sinking fund for next year’s bills or your first car, Pottle keeps your savings goals simple, visual and private. Start your first jar today.
