A purpose for every pound

Turn future costs into monthly amounts

Each pot keeps the target, deadline, contribution plan and activity together, so you can see what is funded and what needs attention.

Targets

Set the amount and date

Create pots for annual bills, seasonal spending or planned purchases, with one-off or repeating target dates.

Monthly plan

Calculate what to put aside

See the suggested monthly contribution and whether the current amount is enough to reach the target on time.

Pot activity

Record money in and out

Log top-ups, spending and transfers between pots while preserving the activity behind each balance.

Payday

Top up several pots together

Fund selected pots on one date or share a lump sum according to how much each target still needs.

Year ahead

See when costs land

View the next twelve months of target dates to spot the expensive months before they arrive.

Exports

Keep backups and calendar dates

Export a full backup, move fund data through CSV and create a calendar feed for target dates.

Every pot keeps its context

Know what the money is for and when it will be needed

The funds page brings the balance, target, category, deadline and source account together, with the next action available from the same card.

  • On track, behind, reached and paused statuses
  • Source and destination account labels
  • Top up, catch up, spend and move actions
  • Deposit and withdrawal history
  • Recurring cycles for costs that return

The balance and the record stay together

Use the pot when the cost arrives

A sinking fund is not finished when it reaches target. Record the spend, start the next cycle or move money to another pot without losing the history.

  • Partial or full spending from a pot
  • Transfers between funds remain balance-neutral
  • Reached dates stay visible on completed pots
  • One-step catch-up amounts for pots behind schedule
  • Pause and scheduled resume controls
  • In and out totals in each pot history

Private by design

Your household plans stay on your device

The tracker runs locally in your browser. It has no account, cloud database or analytics, and it does not upload your targets, balances or account labels.

It does not connect to a bank or move real money. Export a JSON backup when you want to preserve or move the record.

Frequently asked

Before you buy

Which computers and browsers does it work on?

It works on Windows, Mac and Linux computers in a modern version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox.

What can I use a sinking fund for?

Any irregular or planned cost, such as Christmas, car insurance, an MOT, holidays, birthdays, home repairs or pet care.

Does it move money between my bank accounts?

No. It is a planning record. The account and pot labels show where you intend the money to sit, but the app does not connect to a bank.

Can I record spending from a pot?

Yes. Record a partial or full spend, keep it in the activity history and start a new cycle when a recurring cost comes around again.

Can I import and export a spreadsheet?

Yes. Fund data can be exported and imported as CSV. A JSON export remains the complete backup of the app.

What is included in the download?
