From the second you clock in, today's take-home pay starts ticking up — one won at a time. It's based on your after-tax net (Korea's four major insurances + income tax), so it's close to what actually lands in your account. ■ Live after-tax counter Your net pay — after national pension, health, long-term care and employment insurance, plus income tax — climbs second by second. Just enter your salary. ■ Clock-out countdown & payday D-day Time left until clock-out, days until your next payday, and this month's running total — all on one screen. The counter pauses over lunch. ■ Comparison mode (just for fun) "While I was working, how much did Jensen Huang or Elon Musk make?" See it side by side, estimated from their disclosed pay. Painfully motivating. ■ Home & Lock Screen widgets Check today's earnings and your clock-out countdown right from the Home Screen and Lock Screen — no need to open the app. ■ Hide amounts Worried about the desk next to you? One tap blurs the numbers. They stay sharp only while you press and hold the screen. ■ Shareable meme card Make a card — "Today I earned ₩00,000 = N fried chickens" — and brag to your friends. ■ Your salary stays on your phone Your salary details are stored only on your device, not sent to a server. (The free version shows Google AdMob ads, which may use your device's advertising identifier to serve ads.) * Taxes and net pay are simplified estimates and may differ from your actual payslip. * Comparison-mode figures are for-fun estimates based on public compensation data.
