Why Visual Progress Tracking Works
A $30,000 balance can feel impossible to make a dent in. But $300 — one tile — is a single payment. Breaking a large debt into 100 equal, clickable chunks turns an overwhelming number into a series of small, achievable wins you can actually see stacking up.
This is the same psychology behind habit trackers and savings goal charts: visible progress keeps people going far longer than a number alone. Pair it with the Debt Snowball or Debt Avalanche calculator for the full payoff plan, and use the tracker to stay motivated along the way.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is my progress saved?
Everything is stored in your browser's local storage — nothing is sent to a server. Your progress stays private to your device and browser, and it'll still be there next time you visit as long as you don't clear your browsing data.
Why 100 tiles instead of tracking each debt separately?
Breaking a large balance into 100 equal 1% chunks turns an abstract number into something you can see filling in. It works especially well for a single big balance — like a $30,000 loan where each tile is $300 — because progress feels tangible instead of distant.
Can I use this for more than one debt?
The tracker holds one balance at a time, but you can rename it and change the total whenever you want. Many people use it for their single largest or most motivating debt, and use the Snowball or Avalanche calculators for full multi-debt planning.
What happens if I clear my browser data?
Your tile progress will reset, since it only lives in local storage on this device. There's currently no account or cloud sync — this is intentionally a private, no-signup tool.
