Pick your triggers

Choose the spending categories that get you — coffee shops, food delivery, online shopping. These are the habits you're tracking.

One tap a day

At the end of each day, tap one of three states: Day Zero (no trigger spending), Life Happened (unavoidable expense), or Spent (a trigger got you).

Watch your streak grow

Day Zero and Life Happened days build your streak. Only Spent days break it. The heatmap shows your progress over time.

Optional: scan receipts

Enable the AI Scanner in Settings to photograph receipts. The app extracts the details and auto-matches your triggers. 15 free scans to try.

How do I restore my purchase?

Open Day Zero → Settings → scroll to “Unlock Day Zero” → tap “Restore Purchase.” This checks your Apple ID and unlocks your purchase automatically.

What counts as a “Spent” day?

Only spending on your personal Spend Triggers counts. Groceries, rent, utilities, and emergencies are not failures — unless you've specifically added them as triggers. You define the rules.

I tapped the wrong state. Can I undo?

Yes — an undo button appears for 5 seconds after any tap. If you missed that window, yesterday's log can be edited until noon the following day (premium feature). After that, the day locks permanently.

Does “Life Happened” break my streak?

No. Life Happened days are neutral — your streak continues. Only Spent days (spending on your triggers) reset the streak counter.

What is the Streak Shield?

Once per month, paid users get one Streak Shield. If you log a Spent day, the shield absorbs it — your streak continues. The day is still recorded accurately in your history; only the streak counter is protected.

What happens to my receipt photos?

Receipt images are sent to our AI for processing and permanently deleted within seconds. We never store images. The extracted data (merchant, amount, date, category) is returned to your device and stored locally only.

What's the difference between the $3.99 purchase and the subscription?

The $3.99 lifetime purchase unlocks all core features forever — unlimited triggers, challenges, goals, widgets, cards, and full history. The subscription ($3.99/month or $29.99/year) adds AI-powered features: receipt scanning, weekly roast, shame score, pattern detection, and spending insights.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Yes, anytime through Apple's subscription management. Your AI scanning history stays accessible in read-only mode. All core app features continue working normally — the lifetime purchase is permanent.

Can I get a refund?

Refunds are handled by Apple. Visit reportaproblem.apple.com and sign in with your Apple ID.

Does Day Zero sync across devices?

Not yet. All data is stored locally on your device. iCloud sync is planned for a future update.

Is my spending data collected?

No. All your spending data stays on your device. We use anonymous, privacy-respecting analytics for feature usage only — no personal data is ever collected. See our Privacy Policy for details.
