Budget and spending
Haven Pro Plus.
Three connected screens that help someone see where their money actually goes. Deliberately a plan, not a bank link: the user types their own figures. That is a small, honest act of taking stock, and it means nothing about the user's finances ever leaves the phone.
Nothing here may ever influence whether blocking runs. The money features and the protection features are separate by design.
My budget — the monthly plan#
Two lists the user fills in:
- Income — salary, benefits, side income.
- Fixed costs — rent, energy, insurance, subscriptions.
From those Haven derives what is genuinely free to spend this month, and the same figure spread over a week, using the everyday convention of twelve monthly amounts across fifty-two weeks. The weekly figure can seed the balance tracker below.
If the fixed bills exceed the income the result is negative, and the screen says so plainly rather than clamping it to zero.
Each line has a label and an amount. Amounts are stored in cents, so nothing drifts through rounding.
My balance — the weekly tracker#
A card on the home screen counting the current period. The user logs an expense with an amount, a category and an optional note, and sees what is left.
The ledger rolls forward by period. It never rolls backwards: a device clock that jumps back cannot wipe or double-count a period.
My expenses — the spend sheet#
The long view over what has been logged, with three controls:
- Scope — only the period currently being counted, or everything still kept.
- Category — one category, or all of them.
- Sort — newest first (the everyday view), or biggest first (the "where did it actually go" view).
Under the table sits a per-category summary with a small proportional bar. That summary deliberately ignores the category filter — the summary is what you pick a filter from, so collapsing it to the one row you just selected would be useless.
Ties in the newest-first order break on the entry's own sequence, so same-day expenses keep a stable order instead of shuffling around as the screen redraws.
Privacy#
Everything on these three screens is:
- entered by the user by hand;
- stored on the device only;
- never transmitted to Haven's servers or to any third party;
- unconnected to any bank. Haven has no open-banking integration, no account aggregation, and holds no financial credentials of any kind.
This is a different feature from Financial protection, which pauses in front of banking apps but likewise never reads anything inside them.
Why it is in a gambling blocker#
Two reasons, both from the same place. Money that is unaccounted for is the money that gets gambled; and the withdrawal period after quitting is much easier when there is something concrete and positive to watch instead — a plan, a balance, a number going the right way.
