Question 1

What is Denwell?

Accepted Answer

Denwell is a quiet den kept by a sleepy bear. Instead of buying the thing, you hand him a photo of it. Real days pass and dust settles on it. Wipe it clean if you still want it — and if you stop coming back, the bear gently forgets it for you. That is an urge outlived, not resisted.

Question 2

Is Denwell free? Do I need an account?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is free, and there is no account to create. The den lives in your browser — you can walk in and hand the bear the thing you almost bought right now.

Question 3

Where are my photos stored?

Accepted Answer

On your own device, in your browser's local storage. Your photos never leave your device and are never uploaded anywhere.

Question 4

What happens when the bear forgets something?

Accepted Answer

It is really gone — that is the point, and it is by design. Denwell never shames you about it. If the photo gathered dust until the end, the urge had already left you; the bear just did the quiet part. And the money never went anywhere.

Question 5

Is Denwell a budgeting app?

Accepted Answer

No. There are no budgets, no totals, no charts of what you saved. Denwell never does math at you. It just gives the urge a warm place to grow old.

Question 6

Can I turn off the forgetting?

Accepted Answer

No — the forgetting is the gift. Every shop already has a wishlist that remembers forever. The den is for the wanting itself: anything you truly want will get wiped clean again and again, and the bear notices that too.
