Weeks are not equal

Some weeks carry rent, others carry nothing. Saving a fixed amount every week ignores that, which is why many plans fail by month two.

Isobar suggests a top-up only when your forecast has room, so saving never pushes a week into the red.

Watch the finish date move

Every top-up nudges your likely finish date forward. Seeing it move is a small reward that keeps the habit going.
