Question 1

What exactly is MeanIt?

Accepted Answer

MeanIt is a mindful spending companion that helps you gain clarity before making a purchase. Instead of tracking what you already spent, MeanIt asks four honest questions before you buy. It's inspired by Kakebo, the 120-year-old Japanese philosophy of mindful money.

Question 2

Do you track my spending or connect to my bank?

Accepted Answer

No. MeanIt never connects to your bank, never tracks your transactions, and never sees your actual spending. It's purely a reflection tool—you tell it what you're considering, answer four questions, and receive a verdict to help you decide.

Question 3

What are the four questions?

Accepted Answer

The questions are designed to create clarity: 1) Can I live without this? 2) Can I afford it? 3) Will I actually use it? 4) Does this fit my life right now? Each question has a simple Yes/No/Unsure answer.

Question 4

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

Completely. All data stays on your device. If you enable iCloud backup, it goes to your private iCloud account—we never see it. No tracking, no analytics on your decisions, no ads. Your reflections belong to you.
