Bread Head App Features

Bread Head combines short lessons, a hands-on budgeting simulator, and a reflective money journal into one teen-friendly space so that learning, tracking, and decision-making stay connected.

  • Slide-based money concepts
  • Examples from real teen life
  • Checkpoints, not tests
  • Drag-and-drop “dough”
  • Needs vs wants vs goals
  • What-if scenario testing
  • Quick prompts, not essays
  • Weekly patterns over time
  • Wins, regrets, & redo’s

Lessons: Money, one small concept at a time

Lessons turn intimidating topics into 5–7 minute flows. Each unit mixes short slides, tiny interactive checks, and concrete examples (like subscriptions, rideshares, and impulse buys) instead of abstract textbook problems.

  • Modules built around real decisions teens actually make
  • Progress bars and streaks to make consistency visible
  • Low-stress questions that explain why, not just mark right/wrong
  • Clear takeaways at the end of each lesson you can act on that week

Budgeting: See your dough move in real time

The budgeting simulator lets you drag “dough” into different jars — needs, wants, savings, and goals — and instantly see how those choices change your month. It’s built to feel like a sandbox, not a spreadsheet.

  • Drag-and-drop sliders that show tradeoffs with every change
  • Preset scenarios like “first paycheck” or “holiday spending”
  • Simple visuals for % of income going to each category
  • Micro-prompts to reflect on whether your choices match your values

Journal: Turn reflection into smarter habits

The money journal is built for 2–3 minute entries you can actually keep up with. Prompts focus on patterns, not perfection, so teens can notice triggers, wins, and “I’d redo that” moments without feeling judged.

  • Weekly prompts like “best purchase” and “most forgettable spend”
  • Tagging for emotions, categories, and goals to spot patterns
  • Gentle streaks that encourage consistency without pressure
  • Connections back to lessons and budgets so reflection isn’t siloed

The detailed section above automatically cycles through Lessons, Budgeting, and Journal every 8 seconds. When you tap one of the bread buttons, it focuses on that section and waits 30 seconds before resuming the cycle.
