About Buhata
buhata
do it
That’s the whole argument, and the app is arranged around it.
I built this because I was tired of planning
Nobody’s going to out-build the big productivity companies, and I’m not trying to. Almost all of them are built for businesses and teams. There’s a reason for that: households don’t pay like companies do. So a household ends up with tools designed and priced for a project team, or free ones stuffed with ads until they’re unusable.
I went through a lot of them. Every few months I’d find something simple and good. Then the price would jump, or the free tier would fill with advertising. Sometimes the thing I actually used would move behind a plan built for a twelve-person marketing department.
The part I’m less proud of: The apps worked. I made plans in them. I built out game plans, projections, the whole thing. Then I’d look at hours of careful planning every month and still not feel like doing any of it. Dili gihapon ko motivated mutrabaho. The planning had quietly become the work.
I procrastinate. I know that about myself. I didn’t want to keep paying for features designed for somebody with a team, only to keep not doing the things I’d written down.
So the app has one bias
Buhata is built around the step everyone skips. A list records what you meant to do. A plan shows how it could go. Neither one moves. So the app puts the doing closer to hand than the arranging. Your money, your tasks, your groceries, the family and the health things sit on one day, in one place, with one login.
I treat connectors carefully, because every one of them is a monthly bill somebody has to carry. The bank connection comes with Premium, so its cost sits in Premium’s price and Free and Plus don’t carry it. Everything else you type or you say, and it stays in your own account.
What it isn’t
Buhata isn’t a business tool wearing a friendly face. The free plan is a real plan, and it doesn’t expire the week it becomes useful the way a demo does. There are no ads in it. I’d rather charge honestly for the paid tiers than sell your attention to somebody else.
