Our story

Why we built escapecharts.

We believe everyone deserves to live without financial anxiety. Not as some distant goal, but as a real, achievable state of mind.

We're also realists. We've been broke - truly broke - for stretches that felt endless. We know what 2am feels like when the numbers don't add up. If you're there right now - it won't always feel this way. Clarity helps.

Confused bear with spreadsheets

For years, we managed our finances with complex spreadsheets. Multiple currencies, scattered accounts, projections that broke at the slightest change. It worked, until it didn't - fragile, time-consuming, prone to human error.

Every financial planning app out there was built for people with one currency in one country. That's not how many of us live. We move across borders and have assets in different currencies. We needed something better.

So we built the tool we wish we'd had - something that handles multiple currencies, shows you where you actually stand, and helps you make better decisions without spiraling into late-night financial panic.

Bear family discussing finances

We also wanted something to help families talk about money. Spreadsheets are great for the person who builds them, but try getting your partner or kids to look at one. We needed something you could actually share.

Something a teenager might actually look at. Something you could discuss on a sofa with an iPad. A way to have real conversations about money with the people who matter.

Peaceful sleeping bear

Some people are chasing financial independence. Others just want to stop worrying. Along the way, we all face hard decisions - sometimes mistakes that cost us sleep for months. We want to help others navigate that with clarity & calm, not chaos.

If this tool helps someone feel more in control and less anxious about money, that's the point. Thank you for being part of our story.
