Price.Now Value

Cost Evolution Log is a personal finance utility that helps users understand the
real-world impact of inflation over time. It solves a common but underserved problem:
people frequently encounter historical prices — in books, news articles, family stories,
or their own memories — and have no simple way to contextualize those figures in today's
money.

What the app does:

• Converts any price from any past year to its inflation-adjusted equivalent in a chosen target year using compound annual growth
• Logs and organizes a personal history of conversions for reference
• Visualizes inflation trends and comparisons through charts
• Exports data as CSV or JSON for personal record-keeping

Who it is for:
Everyday users curious about economic history, students studying personal finance,
journalists researching historical purchasing power, and anyone comparing past and present costs — rent, salaries, goods, or services.

Value provided:
The app offers a clear, honest perspective on how inflation reshapes money over decades. It is not a certified financial tool and does not claim to be — it uses a simplified
compound model with a transparent default rate, disclosed in the app. All data is stored locally. There are no accounts, no ads, and no data collection.

Core functionality is fully available without purchase. The optional in-app purchase
unlocks additional features for users who want extended functionality.
