Most budgeting apps show you a balance. Pace shows you the truth: one honest number that tells you what's actually safe to spend today - after your bills, savings, and goals are already accounted for. No more mental math. No more "I thought I had more than that." No more overdraft surprises three days before payday. THE DAILY SAFE-TO-SPEND NUMBER Every morning, Pace looks at what's coming - rent, subscriptions, that annual renewal you forgot about, the money you're setting aside for your goals - and quietly subtracts it first. What's left is yours to spend today, guilt-free. It's the difference between hoping you're okay and knowing you are. SEE YOUR MONTH BEFORE IT HAPPENS Cash-flow projections show the shape of your month ahead - the tight weeks, the safe weeks, the day a big bill lands. Plan around real life instead of reacting to it. BUDGETS & ENVELOPES THAT ACTUALLY FIT Create unlimited budgets and envelopes for groceries, gas, dining, kids, travel - however your money really moves. Give every dollar a job and watch each category breathe through the month. SMART REVIEW, NOT BUSYWORK Pace flags the transactions worth a second look and lets you clear them in seconds. Stay on top of your spending without living in a spreadsheet. CALENDAR VIEW See bills and income laid out by date, so payday and due dates never sneak up on you again. BUILT PRIVATE, BUILT TO TRUST Pace is local-first and encrypted. Start tracking in minutes with no bank login required - your numbers stay yours. Add multi-account sync and encrypted backup when you want them, and share a household budget with a partner without handing over your logins. WHY PEOPLE STAY WITH PACE - One clear safe-to-spend number, every single day - Bills and goals funded first, automatically - Cash-flow projections that see the month ahead - Unlimited budgets and envelopes - Smart review of flagged transactions - Calendar view for bills and income - Multi-account sync + encrypted backup - Private, local-first, no bank login to start - Household sharing for couples and families The real cost of budgeting by vibes isn't the latte - it's the overdraft fee, the surprise renewal, the quiet stress of never quite knowing. Pace replaces the guessing with one number you can trust. Download Pace and see your safe-to-spend today. MEMBERSHIP Pace offers a 7-day free trial, then $19.99/month or $79.99/year.
