Almost bought it, then changed your mind? That is not “nothing.” It is a choice worth seeing. Still Mine is a fresh way to save. Instead of tracking only money that has already left, it helps you record purchases you skipped, replaced, or reduced. Every pause becomes a small win—and those small wins can grow into a trip, a laptop, a camera, or whatever matters more to you. SAVE IN SECONDS Use the built-in keypad to enter the amount you kept. Choose what you almost spent it on—coffee, takeout, shopping, rides, drinks, and more—or create a standalone entry in just a few taps. TURN RESTRAINT INTO A GOAL Create personal saving goals, choose an illustration, and watch progress move from 0% to 100%. Individual entries and smaller goals can later be organized into a larger goal, so every “not today” has somewhere meaningful to go. CALENDAR AND TRENDS See how much you kept on each day, then review weekly, monthly, and yearly trends. The numbers become a clear picture of how your spending habits are changing. ANTI-IMPULSE MODE Choose apps that tend to trigger impulse spending and set a cooldown time. When the selected threshold is reached, iOS displays a pause screen so you can make one more deliberate choice before continuing. ACHIEVEMENTS AND SHARING Unlock badges for completed goals, streaks, and milestones. Celebrate finished goals with an animated moment, then share a badge or the complete saving history behind a goal. PRIVACY FIRST No account is required. Your entries, goals, and profile image are stored locally by default. Still Mine does not read shopping carts, orders, page content, or payment amounts, and it does not provide banking, transfer, investment, or financial advisory services. Note: “Money kept” amounts are entered by the user for habit tracking and motivation only. They do not represent a bank balance or guaranteed financial savings.
