Tools and articles

The two things worth tracking properly: money and health.

Money

01 / needs · wants · savings

One framework, applied consistently: split what you earn into needs, wants and savings, then record what you actually spend against it.

Budgeting app

Run your own split

Set the split once, record expenses as they happen, and watch the month close against the plan rather than after it.

  • Needs, wants and savings, at percentages you choose
  • 6 calculators for loans, EMIs, SIPs and tax
  • A written reading of where the month actually went

Finance, explained plainly

38 articles for people who want the reasoning rather than the rule of thumb, and none of them behind an email form.

Health

02 / sleep · weight · bp · labs

The numbers that are easy to check once and forget — sleep, weight, blood pressure, lab results — kept as a trend rather than a single reading.

Tracking app

Log it, watch the trend

One entry a day, and trend lines that make a slow drift visible while it is still slow. Connect an Oura ring and sleep and recovery fill themselves in.

Example
A nine-week sleep trend
  • Sleep, weight, blood pressure and lab results
  • Lab values read against your own report's ranges
  • Nothing diagnosed, nothing interpreted
How it works

What it will not tell you

A tracker that stays a tracker. It reports arithmetic on what you recorded, and when a reading crosses a clinical threshold it says so and points you at a doctor — it never suggests a cause or a treatment.

  • You register your own Oura app, so this site holds no credentials
  • Lab reports are read with your own Gemini key, and always reviewed by you
  • Export or delete everything, whenever you want
