How it works

  1. Start any day. The day number is the number of cents.
  2. Save daily, or batch it weekly: the week's total is shown when you tick seven days.
  3. Try it in reverse to front-load the bigger days.

Tips that keep it going

  • Batching weekly is easier than 365 tiny transfers.
  • Round-up features in banking apps are a natural fit for this challenge.
