Earnings is a focused, beautifully designed earnings tracker that shows you exactly how much money you have earned since you started your job β updating in real time, down to the second. Set your income once and let Earnings do the rest. Choose how often youβre paid (hourly, weekly, monthly, or yearly), pick your start date, and the app will calculate a precise workday-based rate using your actual working days and hours. As you go about your day, Earnings counts only the time youβre scheduled to work, so your totals stay accurate and meaningful. On the main Earnings screen, youβll see: - Your total earned so far, calculated from your start date to now. - A live per-second rate that animates as your income increases during working hours. - A progress view for this period (hour, day, week, month, or year), showing how far you are through your current earnings period. - A clear breakdown of your per hour, per day, and per period income based on your schedule. You stay in control of how your earnings are calculated: - Income settings: Enter any amount and choose the pay frequency that matches your job. - Work days: Select which days of the week you work, or quickly apply presets like βMon β Friβ or βEvery day.β - Working hours: Pick your start and end times, or use common presets like 9β5 so Earnings only counts paid time. - Currency: Choose from multiple currencies and search by code, name, or symbol to match your local pay. - Display period: View progress for this hour, day, week, month, or year, and see how much youβve earned versus the total for that period. - Update speed: Adjust how often your earnings update on screen for a smoother or more dynamic experience. Earnings also supports Home Screen widgets, so you can see your pay grow at a glance without opening the app. Different widgets let you focus on your total earned, your current earning rate, or your progress through the current period. Thoughtful onboarding walks you through setting up your income, while a splash experience and clean design make the app feel at home on iOS. All data is stored securely on device using SwiftData and shared with widgets via an app group so your earnings stay in sync. Whether you want to stay motivated at work, better understand the value of your time, or simply enjoy watching your pay accumulate in real time, Earnings gives you a clear, live window into what youβre earning right now.
