Seems like a cool idea, but I'm not sure if it would motivate me. If I don't spend on something now usually I'll just end up spending that money later. It would be great if the money moved to another account when I say that I'm "keeping" the money

That's great to hear... The feature that we are currently working on will allow our users to move money between their accounts.

Does this not infringe on Google's app, also called Keep (https://keep.google.com)?

Also confused me a lot too. Is this basically just putting a list of things you have bought into a checklist in Keep via some API I am not aware of?

I like this idea... is there anyway to put your own picture in?

On one hand I agree with blueyedlion, but on the other hand the cost of too many small transactions could be overkilling.

It makes more sense, imho, something that collects till a goal and then makes a single bigger transaction. The goal can also be useful for motivation (3 more coffees and you reach your 100$).

Keep has no relation to Google's app keep or the keep shopping app that is also in the app store. We realize that there are other apps that use the word keep but we decided that we wanted to go with it.
