Francis makes a different bet
The Francis approach
That awareness changes behavior.
That the act of logging — not the data it produces — is where the value lives. That friction, done right, is a feature.
No bank connection required. No rules to follow before you've learned anything. Just you, your spending, and 30 days to see what's actually happening.
Track first. Understand through doing.
See if it changes anything for you.
