## What is StandWatch?

Free money tools for the whole military and veteran community. StandWatch exists so no one in the military community faces a money decision uninformed or alone. We stand watch on the numbers, explain the fine print plainly, and put free tools in your hands. The goal is simple: leave here more confident and more competent with your money than when you arrived.

Built by a combat infantryman veteran for the whole military community: active duty, Guard, Reserve, retirees, veterans, and families. No account, no signup, no credit pull, no cold calls, and your information is never sold.

THE WATCHES
Set a target number for your VA mortgage rate, savings APY, or auto loan rate. StandWatch checks the official benchmarks daily and sends a push alert the day your target hits. Insurance, solar, and phone-and-internet Watches are open for signups.

THE RATE WIDGET
The VA 30-year daily average on your home screen, refreshed through the day, straight from the published source.

THE DAILY SITREP
One screen when you open the app: where VA rates, the 30-year average, and the 10-year Treasury stand today, with your own mark on the chart.

ASK STANDWATCH
Type any military money question. The answer comes from our own guides and directories with the sources shown. Nothing is stored.

READINESS COMPASS
A 60-second check that points you to the right guides and programs. Your answers stay on your phone.

BILL SCAN
Photograph a bill. StandWatch reads the figures, compares them to public benchmarks, and loads the right Watch. The image is never stored.

BUDGET BUILDER
A budget built around military pay: two checks a month, drill pay, retired pay, VA compensation. Runs on your device.

CALCULATORS
The VA funding fee, and whether to stay or move: the rate where moving stops costing more than staying.

VERIFIED DISCOUNTS
270+ military discounts across 14 categories, each checked at the company's own page and linked to it.

GUIDES AND RESOURCES
Deployment, PCS, getting out, VA loans, home and car buying, GI Bill, debt, investing basics, aging and caregiving. Every figure sourced and dated. Plus official and nonprofit programs in one directory: emergency relief, free counseling, caregiver support, free legal help. Guides read offline once opened.

THE DAY ROOM
Briefings, and two arcade games: Silent Running, a submarine evasion run, and Cold Blue Steel, an obstacle course. Leaderboards are initials only.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-09-04

Two-screen start: a short launch, one briefing card, and you are in.
The Rate tab opens on the day's rates each time you launch, live, with dates.
The Day Room is on every page: briefings, both games, and one settings screen with your VA mark and a private note.
Lock screen and StandBy widgets. Ask Siri to check the VA rate. Two new quick actions.
Silent Running: fairer patrols, tighter steering, a daily patrol every player shares.
Cold Blue Steel: a masked jump, a gentler ramp, no repeat briefings.

### 1.2 — 2026-09-02

Briefings now play once per screen, then stand down. After the first one, choose to keep them on or turn them off, with sound on or off. Sound is off by default, and the launches and games are better with it on.

Rate charts: the readout stays on screen where you tap, and the axes show numbers.

New calculator: Should I Stay or Should I Move. Find the rate where moving stops costing more than staying.

Updated discount pages, new guides and dispatches, and a refreshed About page.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-03

NEW OPENING: a carrier flight ops launch sequence, then a one-time First Briefing on what the app can do. Replay the opening any time from the scope button on the home screen.

COLD BLUE STEEL: bigger, uniform controls docked at the bottom of the screen and easier-to-read course instructions.

SAVINGS WATCH: account-type categories, including checking, savings, high-yield, money market, and share certificate/CD terms, each with live benchmarks.

ASK: stronger answers on military credit card benefits, backed by the new Military Credit Card Benefits Guide.

Plus the August refresh of the discounts directory and design updates across the app.
