Everything Jarr
can do.

Getting started

Jarr lives entirely in WhatsApp. There's nothing to download, no account to create. Message the bot and it walks you through a short setup — name, primary currency, optional secondary currencies. The whole thing takes about 90 seconds.

Step 1 — Your name

Send your first name or a nickname (2–50 characters). This appears in messages, milestone celebrations, and partner notifications.

Step 2 — Primary currency

Reply with a number (1–5) or a currency code such as AED or GBP.

Step 3 — Secondary currencies (optional)

After setting your primary, Jarr offers up to 2 additional display currencies. These appear alongside your primary in every progress update — for example: AED 18,350.00 (£3,950.00 · $4,996.00).

Reply with up to 2 numbers separated by a comma (e.g. 1,3), or skip to continue without them.

Creating a goal

Trigger goal creation by sending any of: create goal, hi, hello, or start.

If your account has the WhatsApp Flow enabled, a native form pops up inside WhatsApp where you fill in the goal name, target amount, currency, and optional deadline — then tap submit.

If the Flow is not enabled, Jarr guides you through a text conversation:

Logging a deposit

Send an amount in any format. Jarr figures out the currency from the symbol or code.

Single active goal

Multiple active goals

If you have more than one active goal and no default is set, Jarr asks which goal to apply the deposit to:

The context is remembered for 24 hours — your next deposit goes to the same goal automatically.

Inline goal selection

Prefix any deposit with a goal number to target a specific goal and update your default at the same time:

Depositing in a different currency

Jarr shows a conversion note when you deposit in a currency different from the goal's currency:

Milestone messages

At 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%, Jarr sends a personalised celebration alongside the progress update. Both partners receive the message on shared goals.

Tracking progress

status

Shows the detailed progress of your most recently active goal, with all secondary currencies and a visual progress bar. Exchange rates are refreshed at the time of this command.

goals

Lists all active goals with a one-line summary each. The current default deposit target is marked with ← deposits go here.

Managing multiple goals

Switching your default deposit target

Use switch goal to change which goal future deposits go to without making a deposit.

Undoing a deposit

You can undo your most recent deposit within 24 hours of logging it.

• Only your most recent non-deleted deposit can be undone.
• Deposits older than 24 hours cannot be undone — Jarr will explain this.
• Partners are notified when a deposit is removed from a shared goal.
• Reply no to cancel without making any changes.

Partner saving

Any active goal can be shared with one partner. Both of you can log deposits, see progress, and receive milestone notifications. Each partner always sees amounts in their own currency preferences.

Inviting a partner

If you have multiple goals, Jarr asks which one to share first. Send the link via any WhatsApp chat — when your partner taps it, it opens WhatsApp and pre-fills the invite code.

Accepting an invite

When someone taps your invite link, Jarr greets them and collects their name and currency preferences if they're new to Jarr. Then it shows them the goal details:

If accepted, both partners receive confirmation. If declined, the creator is notified and can invite someone else.

Deposit notifications on shared goals

Every deposit triggers a notification to both people. The depositor sees their own confirmation; the partner receives a notification in their own currency:

Leaving a shared goal

Partners (non-creators) can leave a goal at any time using leave goal. The goal creator must use archive or delete instead.

• All past deposits remain in the database and still count toward the goal's total.
• Departed partners no longer appear in the contribution breakdown.
• If the creator re-invites you and you accept, your history carries over.

Completing a goal

Automatic completion

When a deposit pushes a goal to 100%, it's automatically marked complete and both partners receive individual celebration messages.

Manual completion

Use complete to mark a goal as done even if it hasn't reached 100% — useful if you reached your target through other means or want to close the goal early.

Partners are notified when a goal is marked complete. If you have multiple active goals, Jarr lists them and asks which one to complete.

Archiving a goal

Archiving soft-closes a goal. The goal becomes inactive (no more deposits), but all deposit history is preserved and visible in history. Archiving also frees up a slot on the free plan.

Only the goal creator can archive. Partners are redirected to leave goal.

Partners receive a notification that the goal has been archived and is no longer active. If you have multiple goals, Jarr asks which one to archive.

Deleting a goal

Deleting permanently removes a goal and all its deposit history. This cannot be undone.

Only the goal creator can delete. Partners are redirected to leave goal.

If you have multiple goals, Jarr lists all of them — including completed and archived ones (tagged [completed] or [archived]) — and asks which to delete.

Viewing goal history

history shows your last 10 completed or archived goals with their final progress.

• ✅ = completed goal
• 📦 = archived goal
• Amounts are shown in your primary currency
• Only goals you created appear here

Settings

Changing your name

Changing currency preferences

Send change currency to update your primary or secondary currencies. Jarr walks you through both steps.

After updating the primary, Jarr asks about secondaries. Reply options are:

• 1,3 — sets specific currencies as secondaries
• skip / keep / same — keeps existing secondaries
• clear / none / 0 — removes all secondaries

Help & cancelling

Getting help

Send help at any time to see the full command list in chat.

Cancelling an action

At any point during a multi-step flow — goal creation, archive confirmation, invite response, etc. — send exit or cancel to abandon the current action and return to idle.

If nothing is currently in progress, Jarr confirms there's nothing to cancel.

Currencies & formats

Supported currencies

Accepted deposit formats

Exchange rates

Rates are sourced from the ExchangeRate-API. They are cached and refreshed automatically when you run status or goals.

All historical deposits are converted at the current cached rate — not the rate at the time of deposit. There is no markup applied.

Free plan limits

To free up a slot on the free plan, archive or complete one of your active goals. Send upgrade in WhatsApp for information on the Pro plan.
