6pm
Close your day at six. Wake up to one number.
A daily money ritual for iPhone. 6pm catches what you spend all day, you swipe once at six to close
the day, and tomorrow morning you get one number: what's safe to spend today.

The idea
Most budget apps want an hour a week. 6pm wants one minute a day.
- One number. Safe to spend today, worked out from your pay, your bills and what you've spent.
Future you is paid first; everything else is split across the days to payday.
- Caught all day. Apple Pay taps, receipt photos, forwarded bank emails, VietQR scans, your voice
and a quick keypad all land in one inbox.
- The close. At six, swipe through the day in about a minute: keep, edit or not mine. Done.
- Ask before you spend. "Can I afford dinner on Saturday?" is answered from your own numbers.
- Plan and Diary. Bills and pots fill each pay cycle; every closed day becomes a page.
Looks and companions
Eleven looks, each with its own type, palette, material and motion, follow your real clock from dawn
to midnight: Basic and Golden Hour for everyone, six classic looks and three living scenes that move
with the hour. Six companions (the Sunset, Midnight Sun, Nhang, Bánh Bao, Giọt and Hạc Giấy) keep you
company in seven moods, and your Home Screen icon can follow the one you pick. Serious mode takes the
jokes, the colour and the companion away.
Private by design
- 6pm never asks for a bank login and never moves money. It only counts.
- Your records live on your iPhone. Backup is end-to-end encrypted; the key stays in your iCloud
Keychain.
- Ask can run on the iPhone itself, offline.
- The close, capture and privacy are free forever.
