#### Save money by logging what you didn't buy. No budget, no bank.

Keep the Diff is a savings tracker built around one subtraction: what you were ready to spend,
minus what you actually spent. The difference is your Diff, and it adds up week by week toward
the things you are saving for.

Use it for a no spend challenge, a no buy year or a low buy month, or simply to see how much
your better decisions add up to. A slip never resets your total, and there is no streak to lose.

* Log a Diff in seconds: what you planned to spend and what you spent
* Running totals by week, by month and across the year
* Savings goals with a photo, including a 52 week savings challenge
* "Not sure yet": park a purchase and decide later
* No budget to follow, no bank connection, no account needed, no ads

Logging is free. Premium adds end-to-end encrypted sync across your devices, full history,
CSV export, categories, unlimited goals, widgets and App Lock.

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install Keep the Diff: Save Money

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
