Know whether a purchase fits your balance, bills, and paydays. An active subscription is required. Eligible new subscribers get a 7 day trial on the yearly plan.
BalanceBeacon answers one question: can I afford this right now?
Enter your checking balance, your upcoming income, and the bills you have scheduled. Ask about a purchase. BalanceBeacon checks it against everything already on your calendar and gives you a straight answer.
MORE THAN A YES OR A NO
Every answer shows its work:
- The exact shortfall. If a purchase takes you under, see precisely how far below zero you would land and on what date.
- The bill at risk. Not a vague warning. The specific scheduled payment a purchase would jeopardize.
- The earliest safe date. If today does not work, BalanceBeacon tells you the first day it does.
A FORECAST THAT FOLLOWS YOUR REAL PAY CYCLE
Weekly, biweekly, twice monthly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly schedules are all supported, so your projection matches how you actually get paid and when bills actually land.
Confirm income and payments as they happen with a swipe. Nothing affects your forecast until you say it happened.
GOALS AND DEBT
Track savings goals with target amounts and dates. Choose debt snowball or avalanche and see how spare money is best directed. Bills and debts stay separate in your list but share one forecast.
CATCH WHAT YOU DID NOT PLAN
When you update your checking balance, BalanceBeacon compares it against what your forecast expected. If money left the account that was never scheduled, it shows you the difference and asks what it was for, so the next forecast starts closer to reality.
SEE YOUR PATTERNS
A 30-day trend puts this month's spending next to the month before, with weekly averages and category breakdowns, so the habits behind the number are visible rather than buried.
YOUR DATA IS YOURS
Everything you enter lives on your device. We do not collect it, we cannot see it, and it is not ours to sell. There is no account to create. Lock the app behind Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode, and delete everything whenever you want.
