PaymentPulse is a high-visibility payment scheduler for people juggling several credit lines on a fixed or irregular income. Instead of reacting to bank alerts, you plan ahead — timing every payment so it clears without draining the cash you need for daily essentials. SEE THE NEXT 30 DAYS AT A GLANCE The Payment Roadmap lays your due dates, target dates, and projected daily cash balance on one high-contrast calendar, so a tight stretch is obvious before it arrives. TIME EVERY PAYMENT WITH A 3-DAY BUFFER Smart Target Dates schedule each bill three days before its deadline, so payments clear on time without early-alert anxiety. KNOW WHAT'S SAFE TO SPEND The Cash Buffer subtracts your upcoming scheduled payments from your liquid cash to show a true "safe to spend" number — and lets you test what-if scenarios before you commit. WATCH YOUR CREDIT HEALTH Track balances, available credit, and utilization per account, and see the impact of a scheduled payment before you make it. UNLIMITED PULSE (optional subscription) Unlock unlimited accounts, a 60-day forecast, what-if scenarios, and full cash + utilization trends. - Monthly ($4.99) or annual ($39.99), with a 7-day free trial - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation; auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in Settings PaymentPulse is a personal organizer for information you enter yourself.

Kingdom Steward is a household account book for Christians who want their money handled the way they believe — by hand, on purpose, with giving entered first. Learning how to live within God's Economy, instead of the secular economy, then passing that priceless blessing and knowledge to your children, and children's children. GIVE EVERY DOLLAR A NAME Record what arrived and divide it across envelopes you choose: First Fruits, Tithe, Charity, Seed, Investment, Living Expenses, or any category your household needs. The giving envelopes sit at the top of the ledger, because that is the order the money is meant to move in. The unassigned counter falls to zero and the month reads Balanced. GROSS OR TAKE-HOME — THE APP TAKES NO SIDE Every paycheck shows a tenth of gross AND a tenth of take-home. Your setting picks which one the split divides against. Christians disagree about this sincerely and at length; Kingdom Steward computes both and calls neither correct. THE JUST BALANCE The question this audience actually argues about: should the spare money go against the debt, or into an investment/savings? Enter what you could spare each month and the balance beam weighs both paths over the same horizon, with the same money leaving your account and both ending debt-free. You get the dollar difference, the interest saved, and which path ends ahead — with the assumption you set stated plainly. It is arithmetic, not advice. SEE THE MONTH BEFORE IT SURPRISES YOU An envelope that is running hot projects, its month-end, and the day it runs dry. Giving envelopes carry forward; living envelopes reset. An alignment score reflects how closely the month matched the plan YOU wrote — never a measure of faithfulness. LEARN THE MATH BEHIND THE MONEY A free library, always: the scriptures behind each envelope, and the arithmetic most of us were never taught — compound interest, amortization, the Rule of 72, real versus nominal returns. Every lesson has a live calculator driven by the same math as your own ledger. FOR THE TABLE, NOT A FEED A household report you can share as text, discussion prompts filled with your real figures, and give/invest/spend jars/envelopes for teaching children. Nothing is public. Nothing is shared with anyone. There is no bank connection — you keep the book yourself, which is the point. STEWARD+ (optional subscription) The whole budgeting spine, The Just Balance and the entire library are free forever, with no ads. Steward+ adds the steward's coach (grounded in your own figures, neutral on doctrine), years of trends, the giving-and-discipline comparison, the household report, Teach Mode and unlimited envelopes. - $5.99 per month or $39.99 per year, each with a 7-day free trial - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. The subscription auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of the period. Manage or cancel it any time in your App Store settings. Kingdom Steward provides educational tools and calculators, not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Projections are illustrations built from assumptions you set, not predictions.
