TrueForecasting shows you what your balance will be — not just what it is today. Most money apps look backward. TrueForecasting looks forward: it projects your checking balance day by day, so you can see a low point coming weeks before it happens and plan around it. NO BANK LINKING. You add your income, bills, and goals once — we do the math. Your financial data stays tied to your account, not pulled from your bank. Private by design. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Forecast — scroll day by day into your future balance. Tap any item to mark it paid, skip it, or reschedule. • See it coming — get a heads-up before your balance runs low. • Recurring made easy — paychecks, rent, subscriptions, debt payments, quarterly and annual bills, custom schedules. Set it once. • Goals — cap a category's spending, reach a savings balance, or pay off debt, and watch your progress. • Allowances — give a category a budget envelope that drains as you spend. • Trends — rolling cash flow, where it's headed, and tap any day to see what made it move. PRO TrueForecasting is free to start. Pro unlocks the full forecast and planning tools. • Monthly: $2.99 / month • Yearly: $19.99 / year • Includes a 7-day free trial. TrueForecasting Pro is an auto-renewable subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
