Backed by 50+ years of behavioural science

Your brain flinches.
Nudge notices.

Stay aware. Adjust early.

Nudge says

You don't have a spending problem. You have a pattern.

30 seconds a day. Behavioural finance, not more spreadsheets.

GoldMind works differently. Just observations grounded in your data.

That's why GoldMind exists →
The problem

Your brain is built to avoid
financial discomfort.

Most budgeting apps end at the receipt. GoldMind starts there, tagging the bias behind every tap, so the pattern is visible before the next one.

The receipt is the start, not the end.

Other apps stop at the number.

No bank sync. Ever.

You type your own numbers.

No judgment, no red banners.

Miss a day? Streak resets clean.

Awareness is the intervention.

Noticing the pattern is the first step to changing it.

How it works

Log. Tag. Learn. Repeat.

Three steps. Under 30 seconds. Every day builds the picture of your financial behaviour.

01

Log a spend

Tap a category, pick a range, mark planned or impulse. 10 seconds.

02

Get a bias tag

The algorithm names the most likely behavioural bias behind it.

03

Confirm or deny

Your answer trains the model at 5× the weight. Your fingerprint builds.

App preview

No hidden tabs. No premium drawer. What you see is what ships.

Who built this

Meet the founder

I quit budgeting apps three times before I built this. Every one of them tracked the spend and missed the reason. GoldMind is the app I wished existed in 2022. A quiet daily check-in that names the bias, not the dollar.

For financial advisers

Your clients, between sessions.

GoldMind is designed with adviser ethics in mind. Clients log their own data. No bank sync, no CDR, no AFSL trigger.

There is no referral fee and no adviser incentive to recommend it, keeping the tool outside the advice relationship under FASEA Code of Ethics Standard 3.

Advisers who want to explore how it fits their practice are welcome to reach out. We are looking to collaborate with the industry, not disrupt it.

  • Clients log their own data, no AFSL or CDR concerns
  • Privacy Act 1988 compliant, manual entry only
  • Behavioural patterns surface between sessions
  • No referral fee. No conflict under FASEA Standard 3
  • Founding firm pricing locked for early partners
The gap between what clients know and what they do is behavioural. GoldMind closes it, one check-in at a time.
