RONAR is one calm place to master 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. Meet Daniel, your RONAR coach who speaks up only when something matters, never noise. MONEY, CLEARLY - See your true position: balances, net worth, and where this month's money is really going. - A daily read on whether you're ahead or drifting, in one number, not a spreadsheet. - Catch a purchase before you make it with the Emergency Brake. BODY, IN THE LOOP - Connect Apple Health (read-only) to fold sleep, steps, and recovery 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 speaks up only when something matters, a couple of times a week. - "What now?" turns today's money, body, and goals into one concrete action. - A monthly Wrapped that's actually worth reading. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Your data is yours. Bank tokens stay on the server and are never exposed to the app. - Health data is read-only and only with your permission. - No selling your data. No ad tracking. Ever. MEMBERSHIP RONAR is free to start. Paid tiers unlock deeper analysis, the AI coach, the monthly Wrapped, and more. Subscriptions are auto-renewable; manage or cancel anytime in your Apple account settings. Money mastered. Then the rest.

Budler is for you. It's the personal finance app for people who want real answers, not reassurance. Budler is a free expense tracker, budget planner, and spending tracker for daily money management. Track expenses in seconds, plan a monthly budget, monitor bills and subscriptions, split spending across multiple accounts, and set savings goals you'll actually hit. FEATURES • AI Coach: Pick a personality — Supportive, Brutal, or Gen Z (plus Premium personalities BrainRot, Wealthy Mentor, and Romantic) — and get spending feedback that actually matches your mood. • Hours of Life (Premium): See every expense converted into hours of your income, not just dollars.

No account, no sign-up, no bank login. BUDLER PREMIUM — ONE PAYMENT, YOURS FOREVER • 3 AI coaching sessions a month (the free plan includes 1) • Create, edit, and delete your own budget categories • Up to 3 accounts — Personal, Business, Joint, side by side • Hours of Life • BrainRot, Wealthy Mentor, and Romantic coach personalities No subscription.
