Most productivity apps ask you to sign up, sync everything, and live inside their cloud before you get value. Unutma takes the opposite path: your notes, tasks, money entries, and journal stay on your phone, and the interface is built around five clear “rooms” you swipe between — plus a few powerful tools tucked in the header and settings.
This guide walks through what’s in the app, how it’s meant to be used, and what problem each part solves. If you are new, start with one tab; if you are curious, read it like a map of the whole house.
How the app is laid out: five tabs, one calm loop
When you open Unutma, you land on a horizontal strip of five screens. You can swipe between them or use the bottom tab bar. Think of it as a loop:
Actions → Lists → Vault → Economy → Journal
Each tab answers a different question:
| Tab | Question it answers |
|---|---|
| Actions | “Did I do that small real-world check — in one tap?” |
| Lists | “What do I need to buy, do, or wish for?” |
| Vault | “Where do I keep sensitive info, locked away?” |
| Economy | “Where did my money go — and what’s coming?” |
| Journal | “How did today feel — in words and mood?” |
Across the top, you also get Notes (quick capture), Calendar (events and time-based reminders), and Settings (language, theme, games, statistics, backups, and more). That mix is intentional: do → plan → protect → track → reflect, without forcing you to use every feature on day one.
Actions: checklist taps, not a diary of your day
The Actions screen is for small, real-world checks you want to remember — the kind of thing you’d ask on the way out the door: “Did I unplug the iron?”, “Did I lock the door?”, “Is the stove off?”, “Did I take my meds?” You define custom buttons in your own words; tap once and Unutma logs it with a timestamp. That is the whole mechanic — proof you did the thing, without turning the tab into a “what I did today” essay.
- You get evidence for mundane but important habits, not a performance review.
- The app can show recent activity, streaks, and statistics when you stay consistent.
- A “On this day last year” style card can surface what you logged a year ago — continuity, not guilt.
How to use it well: Add 3–7 buttons that match your life (safety, health, shutdown rituals — whatever you actually need to verify). If you want narrative or feelings, use Journal; Actions stay short and checkable.
Lists: todos, shopping, and wishlists in one place
The Lists tab bundles three modes behind a small segment control:
- Todo — tasks with priorities, due ideas, and the kind of flow you expect from a serious task list (including archive and richer views on larger screens).
- Shopping — a focused list for the store so “buy milk” does not drown in work tasks.
- Wishlist — things you want later, separate from urgent todos.
Why three list types in one tab? Because your brain already separates these mentally. Mixing “call dentist” with “replace headphones” in one undifferentiated pile creates friction. Here you switch context with one tap, not one new app download.
How to use it well: Keep shopping and wishlist short and scannable. Use todos for commitments that have a real “done” state. When something graduates from wishlist to purchase, move it — or delete it — deliberately.
Vault: passwords and secrets, behind biometrics
The Vault is where Unutma acts like a password manager with categories — bank-related items, IDs, internet logins, and a flexible “other” bucket. Access is gated by Face ID, Touch ID, or your device PIN, with safeguards against brute-force attempts.
You can copy sensitive fields when needed, hide values on screen, and think about encrypted backup options from the app’s settings when you want a file you control — not a server that holds your life story.
How to use it well: Start with 5–10 critical entries (email, banking portal, main password manager recovery codes if you use them elsewhere). Update when you rotate passwords. Resist the urge to dump everything on day one; a vault you actually maintain beats a vault you abandoned after a burst of enthusiasm.
Economy: spending, income, subscriptions, and the bigger picture
Economy is one of the richest areas of the app — and it exists because money stress rarely comes from “not having a spreadsheet”; it comes from not seeing patterns. Unutma lets you:
- Log expenses and income with categories (groceries, bills, transport, health, and more).
- Track subscriptions and get help with due reminders so “surprise renewals” happen less often.
- Set budgets and see category breakdowns and monthly trends with simple charts.
- Optionally track assets and get a sense of net worth over time.
How to use it well: Pick one habit first — for example, logging every purchase for seven days, or tracking subscriptions only. Once the habit sticks, layer budgets or assets. The app supports depth; you choose the depth.
Journal: mood plus notebook, in one “fourth wall” space
The Journal tab combines structured mood capture with free writing. It is where Unutma stops looking like a utility and starts feeling like a private notebook — still offline-first, still yours.
Use it for morning pages, end-of-day reflection, or one line a day. The point is continuity: a place that does not judge, sync to a social feed, or ask for an audience.
How to use it well: If long entries feel heavy, commit to one sentence or one mood tap for two weeks. Volume is optional; showing up is not.
Beyond the tabs: Notes, Calendar, statistics, and more
- Notes (bulb icon): Quick thoughts that do not belong in the journal yet — ideas, snippets, “park this here” material.
- Calendar: Events on dates you pick, with optional notifications, so time-based commitments live next to your logged life.
- Statistics: Trends and activity-style views (including heatmap-style summaries) so Actions and routines become visible over weeks.
- Settings → Games: Light mini-games for a break — a deliberate contrast to “always optimizing.”
Together, these are not “extra clutter”; they are optional layers once the core loop feels natural.
Privacy and “why not everything needs an account”
Unutma is built around a simple promise: your content is not our product. Lists, journal entries, vault items, and economy data are stored on your device in ordinary use — not mined for ads, not sold as analytics. That is why there is no mandatory cloud login for your private data: the architecture matches the pitch.
When you want portability, you look at export / backup flows the app offers — you choose where files live.
Where to start (a one-week gentle plan)
- Day 1–2: Set up Actions (a few buttons) + one list (todo or shopping).
- Day 3–4: Add Vault entries you actually use weekly.
- Day 5: Try Economy for subscriptions or a week of expenses — whichever hurts more to ignore.
- Day 6–7: Open Journal once per day, even for thirty seconds.

Key takeaways
- Unutma is organized as five swipeable tabs: Actions, Lists, Vault, Economy, Journal — each answers a different daily question.
- Lists split todo / shopping / wishlist so mental contexts stay clean.
- Vault and Economy go deep when you are ready; they are not homework on day one.
- Notes, Calendar, and Statistics support the core loop without forcing every feature on every user.
- The product philosophy is offline-first and privacy-respecting — your data stays with you.
