Build an emergency
fund.
Make saving a regular action with an amount and payday schedule you choose.
How to start
Make the first
step clear.
Choose your contribution amount, actual payday dates, and start date. Choose your monthly balance-check and expense-review dates. Configure the contribution schedule during import review before adding the plan. The import starts with a suggested weekly contribution target. Change it to match your pay schedule during review; the app does not currently automate every-two-weeks or payday-based recurrence.
What It Includes
Your scheduled
commitments.
Start with three observable actions. Choose any personal targets and dates before starting, then adjust the routine to fit your life.
Commitment 1
- Make a payday contributionYour scheduled paydays
Transfer your chosen amount on each scheduled payday. If you use an automatic transfer, mark complete after confirming it went through.
Commitment 2
- Check your savings balance1 time per month
Check your savings balance on your chosen monthly date.
Commitment 3
- Review recurring expenses1 time per month
Check your recurring charges and identify any you want to keep, cancel, or change.
Optional additions
Choose either, both, or neither. These start unselected during import.
- Move an extra amount to savings: Transfer an extra amount you choose to savings once a month. 1 time per month
- Check savings automation: Check that your scheduled savings transfer is set to the amount and date you choose once a month. 1 time per month
Record completed commitments in your D/R check-in.
Goal + Milestones
Know what
complete means.
Review your logs before marking a milestone complete. Adjust the targets if you change your schedule. Optional additions do not count toward milestones. These milestones track your saving routine. Completing them does not mean your emergency fund is fully funded.
Complete your first savings cycle
Make one scheduled contribution, check your balance, and review recurring expenses.
Keep your savings routine for three months
Make the contributions scheduled during those three months and complete three balance checks and three expense reviews. Count the three months from your chosen start date.
Make the plan real.
Copy it into D/R, review the setup, and choose what gets added.
Practical questions
Make it work
for you.
Can I change the schedule?
Yes. Match contributions to your actual paydays, whether weekly, every two weeks, twice monthly, or another schedule. Choose your own monthly balance-check and expense-review dates.
What happens if I miss a contribution?
Record only transfers that happened. Resume at your next planned contribution, or adjust the amount and schedule to something you can maintain.
