I’ve been using Apple Journal app since its release and daily reflections work really good for me. But I haven’t noticed that anybody uses this wonderful personalised tool in other part of our life, which needs improvement - our Spending Habits. That is why I’ve built this app. I’ve been using it for a month now and it works really well for me. I’ve started to use it with the idea to reduce my impulse spendings, but after a month of reflections, I’ve noticed that I don’t make as many impulse buyings as I thought I do and I should probably be less strict to myself.

Great concept, @theramoar! Combining expense tracking with reflection is a smart move. I'm curious about the insights you’ve gained—any tips for new users? Excited to see how Sponder evolves!

@ezshine Thank you! For me consistency was the key. By doing reflections consistently I’ve noticed that in some categories I spend more than I actually needed. For example such vital expense category as Groceries was too bloated for me, as all snacks/sodas/alcohol fall into this category for me. By marking some of the Groceries expenses as “Bad” I’ve noticed a bad pattern in my habits.
