No guilt. No pressure.

Save a little. Pip stashes the rest.

We won't try to force you to come back. Pipstash is here to help you with your spending and save a bit here and there, and if you overspend, don't feel bad. Log a spend in a couple of taps (even from your home screen), and whatever's left of your weekly allowance becomes seeds that Pip the hamster stuffs in his cheeks, then spends on tiny hats.

How a week goes

  1. Set a weekly allowance. One number. You can change it whenever.
  2. Log a spend in a couple of taps. Tap the gold coin, then amount, category, done. There's a Pip widget for your home screen too. No bank login.
  3. What's left becomes seeds. Pip stuffs them in his cheeks and saves up for hats.
  4. Overspent? That happens. Pip is still happy to see you. Leave it, or nudge next week. Your call.

A quiet little ledger

The Week screen shows what went where, in plain numbers. Days you didn't log just stay empty. No red ink, no warnings, no "you missed a day".

missed days get no message

Part of Pip's wardrobe in the app: hats with their seed prices
The wardrobe. Hats cost seeds, and seeds come from money you didn't spend.

Pip's hat collection

Every hat here is drawn by the app itself, the same way you'll see it on your phone. Seasonal hats come back each year, so nothing is ever gone for good.

Playtime, when you feel like it

Two tiny games live in Pip's Playtime: tap the toy die on Pip's rug to find Seed Catch and Pip Hop. Hop from leaf to leaf, nom a golden seed, try the day's little challenges for a few extra seeds.

They're there for a two-minute break. Nothing nags you to play.

A note from the maker

Hi, I'm Marcin. I make Pipstash on my own, in Warsaw.

Most money apps I tried made me feel told off. I wanted one that's on my side: log a coffee, see what's left, and get a small, silly reward for the bits I didn't spend. Pip is that reward.

It's in closed testing on Android right now. If you'd like a note when it's ready, the waitlist above is the way. I'll write once.

Marcin & Pip

Honest bits

  • Pipstash isn't out yet. It's in closed testing on Google Play.
  • It's a habit tool, not financial advice, and it won't connect to your bank at launch.
  • Your data is planned to stay on your phone. Android can back it up to your own Google account, and you can switch that off.
  • No ads, no tracking. This site has no analytics and loads nothing from other servers.
