Mint Calendar: your whole year in gold, one coin per day you didn't spend.

Savings forecast

Savings forecast: see what a year of your goal could be worth.

Monthly Recap

Lock Screen countdown

Living wealth tree

A living wealth tree: day and night, real seasons and December lights. It grows with your streak.

Unlockable app icons

Unlockable app icons (Gold, Emerald, Midnight) as you level up.

How it works

  1. Each evening, tap once to mark the day as a no-spend day. Essentials like groceries and transport don't break it.
  2. The day is sealed with a gold coin, your streak grows, and you earn XP toward 25 levels.
  3. When you feel an urge to buy, log it and resist it. SpendZero counts what you didn't spend as money saved.

Frequently asked questions

What is a no-spend challenge?

A set period, such as a weekend, a week or a month, where you spend money only on essentials like rent, bills, groceries and transport. SpendZero tracks each no-spend day and turns the streak into a game.

Does SpendZero connect to my bank?

No. You mark no-spend days and log purchases yourself, and the data stays on your iPhone.

Do I need an account?

No. There's no sign-up.

Do groceries break my no-spend day?

No. Groceries and transport count as essentials.

What happens if I miss a day?

Your streak ends unless you have a streak freeze, which you earn as you go. Your wealth tree wilts until you start a new streak.

It's free to download. SpendZero Pro is available weekly, monthly, yearly or as a one-time lifetime purchase.
