Debt Descent shows you exactly when you'll be debt-free. Enter your real balances and APRs, and it lays out your payoff plans side by side so you can see which one gets you there faster and cheaper. I built it while paying down my own debt, and the features are the ones I needed myself. Add your debts and the extra you can pay each month, and Debt Descent runs both standard methods at once: - Snowball: pay off the smallest balance first for quick wins - Avalanche: pay off the highest APR first to save the most interest You get real numbers: - Your debt-free date and payoff time for each method - Pick a debt-free date and see the extra it takes - Total interest, total paid, and what each method saves, side by side - A "descent to zero" chart that plots every balance falling to zero - What's left over: add your take-home pay (or read it from a paystub) and the bills outside the plan, and see what's really left each week, month, and year It also handles the parts of real life that get in the way of a plan: - Windfalls: add a future bonus or tax refund and watch your payoff date move up - Pay weekly, every two weeks or twice a month: each debt follows its own payment schedule - Paydays and bills: see which paycheck covers each payment and bill, and whether what's in the bank covers what's due before the next one - Autopay: debts and bills on autopay log themselves - Skip or defer a month's payment, and see what it costs before you do - Save up for a purchase, and see what charging it would cost instead - Refinance and consolidation: model a balance transfer, a loan, or new rates per account, then apply the deal in one step - Payment groups: log one monthly payment that covers several debts and it splits to the cent - Promo and deferred-interest tracking, so a 0% intro APR doesn't surprise you when it reverts - Per-debt amortization schedules and "Test a payoff" what-ifs - Payment logging that shows whether you're ahead of the plan or behind - Due-date notifications you can log a payment from, a payday notification, and calendar (.ics) export - A shareable progress card, with what your balances cost in interest each day - Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight and widgets: ask when you'll be debt-free, log a payment by voice, or log your next payment from the medium widget in one tap - A "Track only" option for balances you want to watch outside the plan - Built for accessibility: Dynamic Type up to the largest sizes, and VoiceOver reads each field and row by name Adding a card takes seconds: - Scan a paper statement with the camera or open a statement PDF, and Debt Descent reads the balance, APR, any intro rate, minimum, and due date for you - Or import and export your whole plan as JSON or PDF Sync and privacy: - iCloud sync keeps your debts, payments, and plan up to date across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It's automatic and free. - There's no account, no sign-up, and no server on my end. Your data lives on your device and in your own private iCloud, where I can't see it. - There's no bank linking. You type your balances or point the camera at a statement, and nothing connects to your accounts. - Statement reading happens on your device with PDFKit, Vision, and Apple Intelligence. Nothing is uploaded. Debt Descent is free to use: add your debts, run Snowball and Avalanche, see your debt-free date, track payments and progress, pay on your own schedule, track bills by paycheck, put debts on autopay, skip or defer a payment, see what's left over after debt and bills, share your progress card, read a statement on your device, and export your payments as a CSV. A one-time Pro upgrade ($14.99, unlocks on all your devices and, with Family Sharing, your family's; no subscription) adds five more payoff methods including a custom order you set yourself, the what-if slider and per-debt payoff tests, picking your debt-free date, windfalls, refinance modeling, amortization schedules, PDF and calendar export, and due-date and payday notifications.
