## What is Payday Away?

Payday Away counts down to your next paycheck, right on your Home Screen. Pick up your phone and there it is: 5 days to go.

Setup takes a minute. Tell it how often you’re paid and when, add your take-home pay if you like, and your countdown is ready. No bank login, no account.

WIDGETS FOR EVERY SCREEN
• Small, medium and large widgets for your Home Screen
• Lock Screen widgets: a ring, a rectangle, and a line above the clock
• StandBy, for your nightstand
• Works with tinted and clear Home Screens
• Each widget can have its own look, count and label

EIGHT LOOKS, ALL YOURS
