RONAR is one calm place for the three things that move your life: your money, your body and your daily decisions. Most apps hand you a pile of numbers. RONAR shows you the one move worth making today, then gets out of your way. NEW IN 1.2: RONAR IN YOUR DAY - Habits that check themselves off. Set a sleep, meal, water, medication or mood habit and RONAR marks the day done when your data shows it. Nothing gets checked off on a guess. - Tasks: a short to-do list right next to your habits. - The + button opens a quick-add sheet you set up yourself: an expense, income, a meal, water, mood, a task, your meds, sleep, weight or money toward a goal. Or just type or dictate it: "coffee 3.50". - Widgets for the Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy (iOS 17 or later): your week of habits, one habit to check off, mood, tasks, what you can spend today and your Control Score. Check off a habit, log your mood or finish a task without opening the app. - Siri (iOS 16 or later): "Log an expense in RONAR", "Add a task in RONAR", "Ask RONAR if I can afford it". - Control Center and the Action Button (iOS 18 or later): Add to RONAR or the Brake in one press. - The Brake's 24-hour wait starts a countdown on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. - Your look: glass or opaque cards over a slow-moving background in dark or light chrome, a sky that follows the time of day, or chrome that takes the light of the hour. MONEY, CLEARLY - See your true position: balances, net worth and where this month's money is really going, by category. - A daily read on whether you're ahead or drifting, in one number, not a spreadsheet. - The Brake catches a purchase before you make it: wait 24 hours, then decide with a clear head. BODY, IN THE LOOP - Connect Apple Health (read-only) to fold sleep and steps into the picture. - Log meals in seconds, by photo, voice, search or barcode. - See how rest and energy quietly shape how you spend and decide. A COACH, NOT A NAG - Daniel, your RONAR coach: "What now?" turns today's money, body and goals into one concrete action, right in the app. - A monthly wrap that's actually worth reading. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Your data is yours. Only your account can read it. - Health data is read-only and only with your permission. - AI features ask before sending anything to OpenAI. - No selling your data. No ad tracking. Ever. MEMBERSHIP RONAR is free to download: look around, log your mood, keep a task list and up to three habits. Paid plans (RONAR I, II and III, monthly or yearly) unlock the rest: logging money and meals, Apple Health, automatic habits and Siri, then the AI coach, deeper analysis, the monthly wrap and the time-of-day looks. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Money mastered. Then the rest.

Pennli

Most budgeting apps wait until the end of the month to tell you what you did wrong. Pennli does the opposite. You decide where your money goes at the start, and one number tells you what is genuinely left to spend today. It is the envelope method, without the cash or the shoebox. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add what is coming in — a salary, a side income, the money that arrives whenever it arrives. 2. Divide it into envelopes: groceries, rent, going out, the things you actually spend on. 3. Log spending as it happens. Every envelope shows what is left, not what you have burned through. No spreadsheet to maintain. No category system to learn. About two minutes to set up. WHAT IS INSIDE • Envelopes you name yourself, with budgets you can change any month • Savings goals with a monthly amount, so "one day" finally gets a date • Repeating bills entered once and handled from then on • A weekly view of where the money went, tappable down to the single expense • Month-by-month history you can page back through • CSV export, so your records stay yours • Six languages and six currencies PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Pennli never asks for a bank login, because it never connects to one. There is no account, no sign-up, and no email address to hand over. Your budget is stored on your iPhone and stays there. We cannot read it and we cannot recover it. That is the trade, and we think it is the right one. QUIET BY DESIGN Pennli sends exactly one notification: a heads-up two days before a free trial ends. No daily reminders. No streaks to protect. No nudges asking you to log a coffee. BUILT FOR THE MONTH YOU ARE ALREADY IN Forgot to write something down yesterday? Change the date. Spent more than the envelope held? It says so plainly and moves on. Nothing here is designed to make you feel behind. PENNLI PREMIUM Full access to Pennli requires a subscription. Choose an annual plan, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Current prices are shown in the app before you confirm anything. A free trial is available on the annual plan.
