How your app data is stored (please read)

Money Basics Lab · Needs and Wants is a Progressive Web App. You will not find it in an app store; you install it by opening the link and choosing “Add to Home Screen” in your browser.
It saves everything (everything you set up in it) only on the one device and browser you set it up on. There is no account, no cloud, and no backup.
Your saved information stays on the device even after you close the app or restart it, so nothing is lost. A different device or browser, or clearing your browser data or uninstalling, starts fresh, and we cannot recover it.
Adding it to your home screen gives the most durable storage. If you only ever open it in the browser without adding it, some browsers (notably iPhone and iPad Safari) may clear its data after about a week of no use. Once it is on your home screen, that does not apply.
This is a one-off purchase of a simple, self-contained tool, not a synced service.

By buying this product, you confirm that you understand and accept this.
