tell norma what you've got. one number, updated whenever it changes.
norma reads them as your burn.
how many days you're free. then watch it grow.
for people who want out.
whether you’re building your escape or already living it, norma shows how many days of freedom you’ve got — and makes it satisfying to watch that number climb.
if you’d rather know your runway than balance a budget, this is for you. nomads, freelancers, sabbatical-takers, founders paying themselves from savings — and anyone quietly plotting the exit.
i freelance as an iOS developer out of new york. in 2022 i spent eight months in bali, three in cape town, one in dubai — then came home to three years of lumpy contract income.
bali is where i noticed the thing.
by every spreadsheet metric i was doing well, and i was still bleeding money. a cheaper city doesn’t lower your spending — it just gives you more permission. then freelancing made it permanent: a big invoice one month, nothing the next.
i tried mint, copilot, my own spreadsheets. i even built an expense tracker with a bank connection — and watched my own transactions take three days to show up. that’s when it clicked: i didn’t need my money tracked. i needed to know how long it would last.
i ripped the tracker out.
what’s left is norma: anchor your balance, add your bills, see how many days of freedom you’ve got. if you’ve quit every money app you’ve tried, it’s not because you’re bad with money. it’s because none of them answered that question.
