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. What I noticed is that almost all of them are built for businesses and teams, and there’s a reason for that: households don’t pay like companies do. So the household ends up using tools designed for a project team, priced for a project team, or free and stuffed with ads until they’re unusable.
I went through a lot of them. Every few months I’d find something simple and good, and then the price would jump, or the free tier would fill with advertising, or 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. What I didn’t want was to keep paying for features designed for somebody with a team, in order to keep not doing the things I had 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 is arranged so that the doing is closer to hand than the arranging: your money, your tasks, your groceries, the family, the health things, all on one day, in one place, with one login.
Connectors get treated carefully here, because every one of them is a monthly bill somebody has to carry. The bank connection exists and it’s sold as its own add-on, so the people who link a bank are the people paying for it and nobody else’s price moves. 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, and the free plan is a real plan rather than a demo that expires the week it becomes useful. There are no ads in it. I would rather charge honestly for the paid tiers than sell your attention to somebody else.
