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 ownβ€”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.
