Master Your Journey to Financial Independence. Most wealth trackers are just glorified spreadsheets. Project Escape is different. Built on the core principles of the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement, it’s designed for those who want absolute clarity, zero noise, and 100% privacy. WHY PROJECT ESCAPE? 1. The Hard-core Asset Definition We believe an asset isn't just something you own—it’s something that pays you. Project Escape challenges you to categorize your wealth based on real monthly cash flow. If it doesn’t put money in your pocket, it’s a luxury, not an investment. 2. 100% Privacy & Offline First Your financial data is yours alone. No server syncing. No bank account linking. No data mining. Everything is stored locally on your device, ensuring your net worth remains your private business. 3. Mastering the "Freedom Ratio" Track your progress beyond simple numbers. Our dashboard calculates your "Escape Progress" by comparing your passive income against your essential and lifestyle expenses. Know exactly how close you are to walking away from the 9-to-5. KEY FEATURES: Global Asset Management: Track assets in USD, EUR, JPY, HKD, and CNY with manual rate control. Liability & Leverage Tracking: Manage mortgages, student loans, and auto loans with detailed interest rate and principal breakdowns. Essential vs. Optional Expenses: Distinguish between "Survival" and "Lifestyle" spending to calculate your Lean FIRE and Fat FIRE milestones. Smart Analytics: Visual allocations of your funds, real estate, and crypto holdings. Zero Integration Risk: No "Plaid" or third-party bank connections. You are in full manual control. Stop guessing. Start calculating. Secure your future with Project Escape. SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION Project Escape offers a monthly subscription at $1.99/month and a lifetime access option. Payment will be charged to your iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period.

Everything stays on your device. Always. —————————————————— UNDERSTAND YOUR FULL FINANCIAL PICTURE —————————————————— Financial Health Score Get a single 0–100 score across five dimensions: retirement readiness, emergency fund coverage, investment activity, insurance protection, and goal progress. Know where you stand and what to focus on next. Net Worth Tracker Track assets and liabilities to see your true net worth over time. Add bank balances, investments, property, vehicles, and any debts — and watch your net worth grow as you make better decisions. Wealth Projection Visualize where your wealth is headed. Customize assumptions for expected returns, inflation, and income growth to see long-term curves that reflect your actual situation. —————————————————— PLAN, PROTECT, AND GROW —————————————————— Goals Engine Set financial goals — a home, a car, education, travel, retirement, or anything that matters to you. Track your progress and see how close you are to each milestone. Retirement Readiness Estimate the corpus you need for retirement, calculate the gap from where you are today, and get a readiness score. Straightforward, honest, and actionable. Bucket Strategy Allocate money across short, medium, and long-term buckets based on your timeline and risk comfort. A simple framework to bring structure to your wealth. Stress Testing Run scenario analyses to see how your finances hold up under pressure: job loss, a medical emergency, a market crash, or a spike in inflation. Know your vulnerabilities before they find you. —————————————————— DAILY MONEY HABITS —————————————————— Expense Tracker Log your daily spending by category, set monthly budget limits, record income sources, and track your savings rate — all in one place. Expense Streak Build the habit of tracking expenses daily with a flame streak counter. Consistency is the foundation of financial awareness.
