Frequently Asked Questions
What is hours-to-afford?
Hours-to-afford shows you how many hours you need to work to buy something, after your savings goals are met. For example, if you earn $4,000/month, have $2,800 in expenses, and save $400, you have $800 available. A $200 jacket would cost you 10 hours of work. This mindset helps you make mindful spending decisions.
Is HourGlass free?
Yes, HourGlass is currently free during early access. No credit card required. We may introduce optional paid features in the future, but the core functionality will always remain accessible.
Is my data secure?
Your data is protected with Supabase Auth (industry-standard authentication), PostgreSQL with Row Level Security (RLS), and secure session management. We do not sell your data. However, we do not claim specific compliance certifications at this time.
Can I use just one app instead of all three?
Absolutely! You can use Earned, Stacked, or Retroglass individually, or any combination that fits your needs. There is no requirement to use all apps.
Do I need to install anything?
No installation needed. HourGlass is a web app that works in any modern browser on desktop or mobile. Just sign up and start using it.
Can I access micro apps without signing up?
Micro apps require a free account to use. This helps us provide a better experience and keep your preferences saved across sessions.
