Maaser makes the mitzvah of giving a tenth feel as good as it should
Maaser makes the mitzvah of giving a tenth feel as good as it should. Log what you earn, log what you give, and always know exactly what's left to give — one clear number, updated live. Every donation grows your Giving Tree, from first Seed to mighty Oak, so your lifetime of giving has a shape you can see. NEW: THE JEWISH YEAR HAS AN END Maaser now knows where you are in the Jewish year: • During Elul, Home tells you plainly how many days until the year closes — no countdown pressure, no guilt, just the date the calendar already keeps • Tap through to your reckoning since Rosh Hashana: what you owed, what you gave, and what's left • Flip History to the Jewish year any time — the tax year stays separate, for Gift Aid FIND OUT WHERE YOU STAND Already been keeping track somewhere else? Bring your history in and settle up: • Import a bank statement or your own spreadsheet (CSV) — from Excel, Numbers, or your banking app's export • See a live estimate of where you'd stand from the moment the file opens, before you've confirmed a thing • Confirm every line, never type: the app reads each row and proposes income or gift, and you tick what belongs — nothing is added without your say-so • Rows already in your History are flagged before you decide — now catching near-misses too, where a name or a date drifted between your records • Changed your mind? Undo a whole import in one tap • Imported donations are never marked Gift Aided — that stays a deliberate, per-charity decision you make yourself DESIGNED FOR MAASER • Log income as "owed" and donations as "given" — the balance does the math • The tree grows on what actually leaves your pocket, so your reckoning stays honest • Start where you really stand: a quick opening balance on first launch means your tree has a shape from your very first log UK GIFT AID, DONE RIGHT For UK taxpayers, Maaser quietly keeps your Gift Aid records straight: • Mark which donations were made under Gift Aid — Maaser remembers each charity's answer so future gifts are pre-filled • See each gift's full value to the charity, including the 25% reclaim — shown separately, never mixed into your maaser balance • Higher or additional rate? Get an estimate of your own Self Assessment reclaim (an estimate, not tax advice) • Export a tax-year CSV summary for your return or your accountant • Not in the UK? Leave the toggle off and none of this ever appears FAST TO LOG, SATISFYING TO USE • Log a gift in seconds: amount, recipient, save • Milestones, gentle animations and haptics make giving feel rewarding • History with filters and swipe-to-edit keeps your records tidy PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No accounts, no sign-up, no tracking, no analytics • Your data lives on your device, with optional iCloud sync across your devices — it's yours, full stop • Imports happen entirely on your phone — your statements never leave it • Delete everything at any time with one tap Whether you call it maaser, tzedakah, or tithing — give with clarity, and watch your tree grow.
